The forms 𝜙 and 𝜑 of "lowercase phi" to have different codepoints makes perfect sense to me. That doesn’t mean that upper-case variants of these can’t share a codepoint. As presented elsewhere in this thread, "X.toUpper().toL

It might be a good idea to compare C++ and Rust and not “C with Classes and no use of compiler options” and Rust. They do have a fair point about ugly template error messages, but the remaining issues are mostly moot: Freed memory issues ca

You can still have a rocket on your vehicle to accelerate further after take-off, but you certainly need to accelerate less if you already at a certain velocity than if you are stationary. Since the “certain velocity” is free by assumption
