Some do (Go), but it is really not the best idea. You do want to have one central place where you specify: - version constraints - source of packages (you may want to host them yourself one day) - any additional metadata (some packages have

Unique comparing to what? There are other products that provide something similar, but are not as popular, as easy (part of easy here is integration with aws) to use and require extra tooling. This will be goto tool for many people working

Most reasonable explanation I've heard is that black cats typically don't look good on pictures. Or maybe they are just overlooked by people visiting animal shelters?

First, any technical discussion here is irrelevant. Those organizations do not ask for it because they understand it, but because someone else told them, and that's where the definition of safety is located. In other words, if you are

Debugging in Rust is substantially less common for me (and probably not only for me) because it is less often needed and more difficult - many things that are accessible in interpreted world don't exist in native binary. I do care abou

I recall early Java having appetite for memory that hardware often could not satisfy (on a x86 desktop, it is of course still true for many microcontrollers). Also I read a story of a developer resisting move from hand-written assemby to C,
