Ninja is generic and minimalist. You can use it for anything that can be defined as a command with inputs and outputs. Writing ninja files by hand is tedious and those extra features make provides can make it easier to use, but in principle

Sorry for the confusion. The rules were put in place to leave open the possibility of GC which could move pointers. Its not really related to this proposal directly, but its an example of how you can define a feature in such a way as to all

For this particular case they thought ahead and require implementations to work with a GC that might move pointers. You run into it with cgo, which, as a result, has quite arcane rules for passing data between the two: https://go

I don't think that's fair. I'm not entirely sure what beautiful means for a programming language, but I've seen many examples of Go programs which exhibited a beautiful simplicity. This project for example: https:/

Lately I've been working with c++ and, at least in my experience, as a developer who's native tongue isn't c++, many of the answers have failed to keep up with the radical changes in the language in the last 10 years. Post-17

I love file.pizza (and its friends) but they're not great for large files. It has to buffer the whole thing in memory.

This is covered in the paper. They use static analysis to know the memory costbof a kernel function and rather than optimistically run the kernel function and then unwind it if they run out of memory, they delay it until memory is available
