I'm not disagreeing with "let them do it", but the comparison with computer music isn't really fair. Computer music, as it existed a couple decades ago, still played exactly what you asked it to, and it wasn't filli

I think there's a reason people would respond more poorly to generated art than to emojis: the contentlessness of emojis is broadly understood. We look at an emoji and we know what it is intended to signify. With "AI" art, th

I don't think pron was saying that Zig has a feature-by-feature match for everything that Rust's generics can do. I think his point is that comptime can handle what the target audience of Zig wants from generics. In that regard, I

Reading a macro's definition and reasoning about its effect is... reasoning. It's not the same as reasoning about something using its inherent limitations, which is the kind of reasoning that I think you're referring to, but

To expand on this link, this is probably the closest you're going to get to 'I'll "program" in LinAlg, and a JIT can compile it to whatever wonky way your HW requires.' right now. JAX implements a good portion

Right. Glam (maybe because it's stuck with its data layout, maybe to present a cleaner interface) instead uses a SIMD type for a single Vec4, which tends to be a much less efficient way of using SIMD types. > If your vector is gener

I haven't benchmarked, so these opinions might be worthless, but here's how they're laid out internally. * nalgebra uses fixed-size arrays (so a Vec4 is like [[f32; 4]; 1]) * this library seems to use fields (so a Vec4 is a s

The example in the linked demo[0] seems less left-to-right. Anyway, I think we'd expect it to usually be more-or-less left-to-right -- We usually decide what to write or speak left-to-right, too, and we don't seem to suffer much f
