I think the ultrasonic transponders would be a considerable additional mass/current draw, which would hurt acceleration ability, so it still is a tradeoff... But hey, would love to be proven wrong =)

Sure, but there used to be a strong performance advantage when using the arguments variable with function.apply, also editing arguments' values affected named parameters' values (not sure that's desirable, but you know, seman

I'm not a big fan of the new =>, it means the arguments variable will have parent scope in => but not in ->, it kind of erodes into coffeescript's elegance/consistency imho, unless I'm missing something ?

What's really annoying is that it only stifles those who care about licensing.

Right, I'm sorry, I suffer a narrower definition of "works" :)

Embedded code, modules for use in higher level languages - and this is the killer, memory management in "mixed" contexts

The stdlib not working without GC, making not truly optional, is one of the main reasons I stopped using nim - though I haven't checked if this is better in some time.

Yes, the nim compiler outputs C-source code then passes that to your compiler. It can also output other languages. That said while a lot is configurable, I wouldn't consider the generated C as something a human can work on.

Well the government shouldn't modulate how it executes the law based on the optics or media impact. And as you said, this move shows that they didn't think the UK would agree with their evidence, which is far more reason for this

There is a due process to catch an ally's civilian, that's called an extradition, that process is important.

IMHO if such a superficial aspect is what's breaking it for someone, I'm thinking they're a bit hung up on trivia, the rest of Nim is really very good and other languages should copy it more. In practice the symbol thing real

Identifiers are "style-insensitive", so case changes and single underscore insertions don't actually change the identifier. There is exhaustive tooling such as nimgrep and ide support built into the compiler (such as find sym

Indeed, and our text tools are powerful in the extreme for implementing said changes

Well if you had ran into that problem the link would be very touching to you too. The stop is referring to the constant changing and difficulty in diagnosing resolution under os x (or whatever it's called)
