Would a macro work ok for you, like the inbuilt vec! one? There's a crate for that named maplit: https://docs.rs/maplit let map = hashmap!{ "a" => 1, "b" => 2, };

Pretty much. The mere existence of cdecl(1) says a lot about the simplicity of C's type declaration syntax.

I'm sorry for being blunt, but is it possible that the `very brittle "exact match" method of evaluating whether an answer is correct` means value equality? Is `==` the secret sauce?

I meant vendoring the source code of dependencies when I wrote the parent comment, but it appears you feel strongly about going one step further? Vendoring arch-specific binaries? What is the benefit of doing that, in your opinion?

> The same properties of the language which helped Google have helped me To be fair, I don't think anything I wrote contradicts that. If your goals align with Google's, great.

Go was so obviously designed by Googlers, for Google. After the initial release, outside adopters would frequently report issues where Go undermined their productivity. And every time the core team's response was the same - complete di

Wow. They say that policies are organizational scar tissue. I'd love to see the blow that inflicted this particular wound.

It's always been baffling to me that certain problem domains with extremely slow feedback loops have standardized on using dynamically typed languages. Machine learning and Python. Video game scripting and Lua. A lot of scientific prog

Kotlin is not the future of anything. They got the Android boost and still, two years later, all they have to offer is a molasses-slow improvement pace and a shitty dev experience in their signature IDE (which also happens to be made by the

I think it's mostly a usability tradeoff. If you can use the same data type for calendar appointments and high-precision performance logging, then you save your users the necessity of choosing between different types. Bonus points for

If by BigInt you mean an arbitrary-precision integer type, then AFAIK no major language uses it to represent dates. If you mean a 64-bit integer type (which, to be fair, is 11 bits larger than what JavaScript supports), then that's sti

Interesting analogy. Only after reading this comment did I realize that my mental model has been somewhat similar. Although if I had to write it down, I'd phrase it in terms of data structures. If you have a sparse matrix of nouns and

I think we're basically in agreement that it's a great shame when important information is not reaching the audience it deserves because of how it's presented. It's a neat parallel to the other thread in this topic about

Oh yes, absolutely. My answer seems dismissive because I mostly follow the NBA, but in fact the relationship between the number of games, ticket prices, and factors affecting attendance is a fascinating topic.
