I agree, ayende is a C# person, he's well aware of statically typed languages. I also agree about your other points, I think maybe one of these days the borrower will become more sophisticated, but these issues he's complaining ab

the DLR was specifically created to avoid that approach, IronPython, et al, haven't used such an approach since the DLR was released. It dynamically generates IL which is then JIT'd.

why does it matter? The point of UBI is to allow people to do what they want.

This is the answer I was hoping I wouldn't get. I understand that it runs on BEAM, much like I understand that IronPython runs on the CLR. However, IronPython's performance is slower than C#'s performance due to the dynamic n

I'm curious about the performance of Elixir code compared to Erlang. I guess I'm what I'm really asking is how different is Elixir from Erlang in regards to the paradigm, and what performance costs does it pay for it?

"less information means less bugs" is not the same thing as "less code means less bugs". Your entire argument there is a non-sequitur, no one who says "less code means less bugs" is talking about the mechanica

I hate sublime text's vertical editing. It jumps around when I would rather just have it do actual block highlighting the way every other editor that supports block highlighting does it. If anyone knows how to force it to do that I&#x

So just admit that it should be better and will be once the checker is improved, stop arguing about it. And please stop trying so hard to imply the problem is with the developer.

> I write Rust code every day, and I've seen or written borrowck-induced awkward Rust code maybe twice this month. Which is exactly what I was describing, why are you continuing to argue against the point?

by braveo 10y ago
It's not a problem in that you can make your code more awkward to work around it, but it's still a problem.

That's really unfortunate because I think too many people misunderstand safety in rust. The word "trust" absolutely describes safe blocks better than the word "safe" does.

> Right now, the rules are very simple to explain. But that means your code gets a little more complex at times. And more awkward in places due to convincing the checker that what you're doing is ok.

by braveo 10y ago
It has nothing to do with familiarity, it's due to the checker not being able to identify safe usages that are obviously safe to a human. Atleast steveklabnik had the good sense to acknowledge the issue rather than blame it on the deve

The borrow checker drawbacks was actually one of my biggest pet peeves with Rust. If you guys can solve that problem in a meaningful way it'll go a long way towards making me a lot more positive about using Rust. As it was, I felt as
