One where the "power and flexibility" of nixpkgs is encoded in the data model? If there is something that can be done in the nix language that can't be expressed in the underlying model that needs to be used by another fronte

That sounds like a design flaw in the data model if the flexibility exists at a higher level.

This is an old saying in politics and you're misinterpreting it - it's not about signaling to allies, it's about avoiding being held to any particular positions. You're also missing the first half, "don't write

My point is not about performance at all, you should raise that as an issue in the zstd wrapper crate.

If I'm writing new software I'm necessarily developing something that's not yet a package in any distro, so I don't necessarily want to be using distro tools to build it. I also strongly disagree with the characterizat

Totally unrelated comment to my previous one I think it's folly to encode the semantics of APIs in the Rust type system and memory model and that's the impedance mismatch that has people riled up. unsafe code isn't incorrect

(by my reading) the problem is that determining what the C ABI is relies on a C parser. If a module depends on an API, genksyms checks if the ABI has changed and won't load the module as a result (or more broadly, it could also use con

With rustup? Why do you need the distro to be the be and end all of package management when it's more concerned with user space and not real development?

What is the value in relying on distro authors to publish rust compiler versions, when the bespoke release channel for rustc is kept much more up to date?

I've seen the other side of this, which is zero organic growth and enormous strain on founders to become salespeople and customer support for customers that perpetually keep your software in a trial period. Depending on where you want

I'm referring to package management. Modern build systems all have some way of doing package management directly or interfacing with package managers instead of just shelling out to them, which you would have to do with make.

make as a task runner is not too bad, but there are better alternatives today like just (as others have commented). make as a build system is ok until you hit the warts. - make/Makefiles aren't standardized, which is why automak

Nothing but terms and conditions of the website. That's how Paul Holes identified the Golden State Killer, he created a fake profile and sent in the DNA from a crime scene and worked backwards from the results to find a suspect.

Apple is most certainly not the company you want to purchase products from if you're afraid of major updates. They are far more aggressive and eager to break things than Microsoft.

I played around with it for awhile but the generated code was awful for compile times. Have you looked into writing a proper interpreter instead of compiling to Rust, or optimizing the generated code for compile times?

LSP and tree-sitter solve different problems and aren't interchangeable, it sounds like you were trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. LSP doesn't (nor can it) specify anything that would make your life easier to use a l

It doesn't actually, the "server" can (and in many cases does) run in the JS event loop. Do you want the protocol to specify that language servers are able to run in a browser? Because that's very outside the scope of th

I think there's a language gap here, in colloquial English saying "two things in parallel" means they happen at the same time but does not imply anything about when the events start or end. A big mistake among programmers i

If you're familiar with systems programming in C++ then learning Rust is like having an automated code reviewer when you run `cargo check`. That said the biggest obstacle I've seen has come from C++ programmers traumatized by heav
