Besides the one mention of Go, he seems to be comparing C# to JavaScript/TypeScript. C# is decent, but the JS/TS ecosystem does not set a high bar for comparison...

It seems strange to label Intel + AMD + Qualcomm + ARM + TI + NVIDIA + Samsung + Fujitsu + etc as "1 choice". Even on the Chinese side I assume it's more than just SMIC (or whatever the big one is over there).

I don't have a horse in this race, but a programming language that prides itself on "zero-cost abstractions" and then generates a Hello World program that is 90% wasted space doesn't leave a great impression.

You seem determined to frame the changes in a positive light. I disagree, but that's besides the point for the purposes of this discussion. My point is that in a society which heavily discourages premarital sex, dating sites might opti

It's a Java system, so not quite so simple. Maybe it's worthwhile to create some Java bindings? Recent JDKs make it feasible to swap out the underlying zlib implementation, so swapping out zlib-madler with zlib-cloudflare or zlib-
