Since the "nm" numbers are just marketing anyway, I think they don't mean much in regards to how small we can go. We can go small until the actual smallest feature size hits physical limitations, which is so decoupled from th

If you're ok with third party libraries, there are some solutions to static polymorphism. For example, EnTT comes with this: https://github.com/skypjack/entt/wiki/Crash-Course:-poly

The amount of "programming time" I spend actually writing code is also quite low compared to the amount of time I spend figuring out what needs to be done, the best way for it to be done, how it fits together with other things, th

Unlike traditional OOP, the data and behavior are decoupled though. Similar to data and functions. That is, you can add components that don’t get operated on by any particular systems because the entity doesn’t have the other prerequisite c

I know all the terms are overloaded nowadays so everything’s kinda unclear but I always wished that ECS components had been called traits, because adding a component to an entity gives it some a trait like “this thing has a position in the

How is the running thing operating on components any different from functions in a purely procedural language like C operating on records/structs? > Yes this also models much the same thing at runtime. In a different way, though. It

Just as a Turing machine requires an infinitely sized tape to compute any computable function, so too would brainfuck require an indirect sized tape (or whatever it’s called in BF) to compute any computable function. Since memory is finite,

I don’t think any of the replies you got for your first comments were uncharitable at all, they responded to what you wrote. At that point, you could have corrected us and revised your wording for clarity, but you did not, you dug your heel

Ok, I think I understand what you are trying to say. Instead of telling us how we don’t understand various things, how about next time you define your terms, choose your words more carefully and be clearer with your explanations, so we can

Dynamic languages do it at runtime too, JUST LIKE rust and C++ do. What's the difference? C++ and Rust let you have compile-time safety, until you choose to give it up and have runtime checks instead. Dynamic languages only allow t

The problem with stuff like stars or even lists of "who uses this" is that they need to be refreshed every so often. Just because someone used your project ten years ago, doesn't mean they're using it today. Maybe a list

Yeah, it was my understanding that the opcodes directly encoded what we would nowadays call microcode, that is, bits which selected which CPU component acted on which data[1], so these illegal instructions are just unused bit patterns that

Maybe an import duty needs to be applied. Importing the Irish whiskey will incur a duty. Google US paying a 100% license to Google Ireland should also incur a duty charge for importing the license from Ireland. Something like that, anyway.
