You might be able to find research institutes or national labs (I'm a research engineer at one of these). If you're in Europe, something like the Max Planck Institute might fit the bill. Aside, can I ask why you don't want to

It's weird to see "large messages" as a code smell. I'd say it's more of a thing to be aware about if you use any BEAM-based language: that's just how the runtime works. But, if you're constantly sending l

Pony committer here, I don't think this comparison is very fair, Rust has way more users, and thus way more eyes looking at it and reporting bugs. We've also had a few runtime segfauts before due to LLVM (mainly when porting to ne

If the maintainers have a good back-porting policy, they'd also put out a new 1.0.X release so that users of <1.1.0 can upgrade and get the fix without also getting the new function in 1.1.0. This is something that Apple sometimes d

It's not the case here (I think), but this can be common if you move functions around or expose functions that were previously internal. For example, maybe your function is only called from another one that performs the appropriate bou
