C++ can't do things today that Smalltalk and CLOS were able to do in the 1980s already; how is it not lagging behind in OOP? Hell, companies like Trolltech had to extend C++ for their own purposes to provide just a subset of the extr

Sciter? Of course you can run UIs for Zig programs in Sciter, just like you can do it for C or C++ programs...

It's a language bug, really. If you're expected to say what the individual things in your program are allowed to be (like you have to in C++, Java, C# etc.), and you say "foo is a BarBaz object", and the language and c

I was told that deferred_ptr/deferred_heap was supposed to solve these things for C++, so perhaps that would make Rust the option with worse problems in this department. Not sure where it got by now, though.

Wouldn't this, if applied by default, complicate Zig's easy C interoperability? I don't quite see how plain C code could play well with this.

Wait, so you're saying it's a Russian company breaking Russian laws and getting away with it?

That's not a definition, it just constrains the universe of possible definitions. Hence you can't come to this conclusion because you still haven't defined it well enough to say who in the world has it and who doesn't.

That is a weird term for two reasons. First, isomorphism is an invertible structure-preserving mapping between two structures. While the trivial case of that mapping being an identity is technically also isomorphism, it renders the relati

Can me give you an example of such cases? Because where I live, the grid absolutely does not suffer such horrible losses. "50% best case" would be absolutely unthinkable here -- especially for purpose-built medium-voltage system

These days I'd imagine that pretty much any profiling and/or coverage tool worth its salt should be able to gather this information automatically.
