You can override the location of a package with dep. Indirection doesn't solve the problem it just moves it to the centralized repository. Go designers recommend vendoring packages which solves the problem.

How does that help a poor worker in Bangladesh? In many of these countries people voluntarily choose to work in these factories. They're terrible places to work, but apparently its still better than working in the fields. A more effect

FWIW that benchmark is not reliable . Developers have submitted go programs that do far better, but they get rejected because they use custom memory allocators. This is despite the fact that C++ does precisely this with an arena allocator.

If you run things efficiently you're eaking every ounce of performance out of this hardware. A 30% performance hit means a 30% cost increase. The bigger issue is for things that don't scale easily. That sql server that was at 90%

I disagree that its straightforward in C. C is built around pointers, but the bitmasked array uses a completely different kind of pointer. IE you can't just do n->n.num_children++; n->children[c] = (art_node*)child;

The Array Mapped Trie is an interesting data structure that's really hard to represent in code. Even this rust version is forced to use unsafe and manual allocation to pull it off. Most libraries seem to resort to using a dynamic array

I suspect this was said in jest, but have you tried steam lately? Nearly all indie games work in linux now, and even some major titles do (like Total War).
