Documentation solves just one problem: to free or not to free. But there are performance, security and other issues. What if it is significantly more performant for getenv() (or whatever) to fetch needed data using alloca (on stack, with fa

getenv() is just a sample. But even with it... it puts some limitation on potential API implementation and overall system performance. E.g. const char* user_password() cannot store the data anywhere, right? All that... > The most comfort

Such problem is pretty widespread and not limited by just structures, C-style strings are there too. For example: const char* getenv(const char* name); Do we need to free the string? And if "yes" then how? It is not reali

Rust can be good for implementation of UI system but as a language-behind-UI it is bad - its advantages (e.g. strictness) directly translate to disadvantages in that area. At the end, main idea of initial Rust design is to be the language

> The background for this is that most existing UI toolkits are a poor fit for Rust. Being in GUI business for almost 30+ years I shall admit that this above is true. And not just Rust but C/C++ are there too. Real (a.k.a. practical

As far as I can see it uses Sciter UI for clients on desktops. And that one is C++.

TL;DR if you wish: World now is transitioning from G7 (which is G1 really) to real G20. Globalization caused rise of powers: China, India, Russia, Brazil, etc. I think that world will be in better shape after that - concurrency and need for

This really depends on design goals of course. Usually browsers are tend to sacrifice memory consumption (e.g. caching) for rendering speed. In Sciter, for example, this page on HN occupies less than megabyte in RAM. Sciter has quite differ

Probably. But the fact that we've transitioned from BiPolar (US<->USSR) to UniPolar(US) and now to MultiPolar world is correct as we see.

My Sciter[1] Engine has two versions 1. Sciter.JS, with QuickJS, mainstream version now. 2. And former Sciter.TIS - uses my own TIScript. TIScript uses moving/compacting GC (close to V8). We have several products ported [2] from TIS to

Interesting... Instead of forms I have color associations with digits. And I suspect that many people have those... What is your color associations (if any) with 0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8 and 9 digits?

Instead of vDOM, solid.js uses <template> - real DOM elements + cloneNode(). And that's doubtful decision. Each live DOM element is about 100-200 bytes in memory. While in React (PReact, Mithril) this JSX expression: <div

Of course it has spec. Just one more property in 200+ of them. That is no-brainer to add new property ... Problem is that each property introduced that way ads new dimension in compatibility matrix.
