yeah, this is the true gold of hacker news: learn about a new concept from the post, and then have knowledge multiplied by discussion across a range of experience levels from curious readers, to daily practitioners, and sometimes even p99.9

> Post-ai you are ruining your code base if a pr is bad, i will reject it. that's the point of code review.

you can read a 10k pr in ~1-2hr. there’s nothing wrong with a 10k pr. i would rather review 1 10k pr than 10 1k prs or 50 200 line prs. attitudes like this make it seem like computers are incomprehensible and we’re lucky to ever land code a

fair. i guess i used “rust” in collective noun sense for “rust the ecosystem and community”; from my armchair experience there’s a big contingent of that community that abhors unsafe and software that uses it, and it’s that community/e

it’s too damn spooky. i know they rolled back or caveated some of the language after the uproar but i certainly would like to travel to the EU without any kind of anxiety about “do my open source apps mean im an EU felon if i forget to chec

if there was a thingy that compiled JS to a 10mb native executable with shared heap multithreading, im sure we'd use it. however, no one has invented such a thing. until this pr.

this is why operating systems have forbidden threads since 1999 and no one has ever used them since.

SharedArrayBuffer gives you a byte array, and asks you to re-implement the entire JavaScript universe on top of that. String -> use TextEncoder to copy in / out of a byte buffer. Object/class? Sure, devise your own protocol to

rust seems alergic to the un-safety required of "i dynamically built this executable code segment just now, please jump into it"

yes, all of node.js is built on such operations. what do you think is happening when you `await fs.promises.readFile(name, 'utf8')`? it dispatches a libuv thread to read the file you want, and resolve the promise when the backgrou

how similar is your elm app to a JIT compiler runtime?

js does not and has never had shared native objects between workers. there is a vast gulf between "here is a shared array buffer, feel free to interpret these bytes on another thread" and "your existing { ... obj } code just
