I use C++ and Rust. Unfortunately, there are no persistent versions of the data structures I need available in any language (using dynamic FM-index as an example again). It is just interesting to think about “hybrid” systems where most of t

I am strongly considering buying a copy of your book and giving data-oriented programming a go in my day job. My only hesitation is data immutability. I work in a data-intensive scientific field where we frequently use custom, mutable data

Great point. I had two laptops with pre-installed Linux. Both were not even cross-update compatible. Video driver of my System76 laptop broke after the first major Ubuntu update. XPS 13 Developer Edition failed to hibernate the very fist ti

I will happily swap my Mac for a laptop that could reliably run Linux if I ever find one. I had a machine from System 76 where a video driver would break with every major Ubuntu update. Dell XPS 13 developer edition seems to have a surprisi
