Have you read the article? Half its examples are not well suited to Python/Go (maybe if you use micropython/tinygo instead).

That's an excellent point, maybe something that should be addressed on the site.

What are some obvious use cases for something like this? I really have trouble imagining what you would use it for.

Does anyone know what influences were taken from Oberon-2 in Odin?

I like how newer languages with a C style syntax have more readable type declaration mechanisms than C (some even Pascal-like to an extent). But I am not sure what I would prefer in some cases when looking at these new languages. For exampl

It's the other way around that can be suboptimal. If some application wants to integrate git it could execute in a subshell (which is frowned upon for good reasons) or use libgit instead. This works great in the case of git, but for al

It's interesting that libraries and executables always have been considered different things by the mainstream operating systems. In Oberon systems object files are executable files. Every object file can have subcommands, like the git

I don't necessarily disagree with that sentiment, but you can also attract very good developers when you don't avoid exotic languages.

Yeah I realized that, but still it feels sloppy or disingenuous when you consider the extent of the subject matter. It's supposed to be an article about Freedom, Privacy and financial communication, not specifically about Bitcoin (or i

Yeah everyone is fine with hardcoding API URLs, even submitting the resulting client to an app store. You're not going to fix that unless you (initially) make the URLs unpredictable (that is, make the links the only way to know a URL).

You're right, if users disregard the difference in energy consumption there is little reason for them to choose the PoS chain over the PoW one. For devs and businesses the PoS one seems to matter though, I think it is likely the activi
