Most of the interesting things happening in the Ruby space other than Rails are Japanese... Mruby for example (embeddable Ruby). It's used a bunch by Japanese game studios in place of say, Lua, but it's nearly impossible to find

Linux has been good for years. The only thing that's changed is that Valve put a bunch of effort into Proton so now Linux has enough game titles for that to no longer be an excuse to not switch. I've been using Linux full-time

Stuff like this has been alleged by drivers for years... It really wouldn't surprise me.

Of all the real commercial apps written in Odin, few are games. JangaFX tools for example definitely involve graphics (like games), but they aren't games. And what exactly is a "video game" language? A language that's

Nearly every Wayland compositor is built on wlroots. Somehow they manage. But yeah, of course it's going to change more than X11, which is older than I am and more or less abandoned...

I said build on top of wlroots, not DWL. And I only brought it up as an example of a small Wayland compositor/window manager because the poster I was replying to wants to build their own anyway. DWL is more interesting as a learning

Personally I don't care about speed for this category of language. I just bring it up because Python is one of the most used languages, is even slower, yet that's never held against it. Just seems like a lazy way to dismiss Ruby

by dismalaf 10mo ago
It's literally faster than Python but ok.

by dismalaf 10mo ago
So build on top of wlroots or something. DWL for example is super small...

Cool project I guess, don't see the point but technically interesting. Will be cool to have another modern display protocol/server. I personally would have rewritten Wlroots in Zig or something, but I guess this is more interest

Go has a GC and Rust doesn't. That alone makes Go higher level.

It was a rhetorical question. I think anyone should be allowed to make any language they want for whatever reason they want. And IMO C++ is painful enough to use that nothing needs to be "better", more ergonomic is good enough fo

You should google the definition of credible since it seems you don't know it... (Hint, it doesn't mean 100% true) It really boils down to: do you trust a brutal communist dictatorship that has been attacking the West asymmetrical

Because they're already reneged on past promises. Trust is gone.

Honestly, who cares? This will no doubt be used by many people who use Hyprland and I really don't think Vaxry cares about anything else. He's a college kid from Poland who now is getting enough donations he probably will never h

This is a huge Hail Mary... IMO they'd be better served slowing down the training pipeline, becoming profitable now, hiring a bunch of scientists and figuring out the next AI technology.

What's wild is OpenAI doubling down on hyperscaling when it's obvious that the gains from pre-training are coming to an end. They seem determined to just go out in flames...

Of course it's a bubble. Valuations are propped up by speculative spending and AI seems unable to make enough profit to make back the continued spending. Now, that's not to say AI isn't useful and we won't have AGI in t

One of these is not like the others... Odin vs Rust vs Zig would be more apt, or Go vs Java vs OCaml or something...
