We have a JSON data store at Sanity.io where you update your data by sending in a transaction script which is at a quite high level ("increment karma by 5"). While these scripts explain your intention well, they are a bit of a h

Ehm… As I was profiling the code base I found that most of the time was spent hashing the data. The hashing part is quite critical for correctness and any collisions will cause it to generate incorrect. Initially I used SHA256 and was think

I quite like the trait system in Rust, but I'm not sure if I would argue that it's simpler than a class-based language. Just looking at `foo.bar()` there are similar types of complexities. In a class-based language you need to be

To clarify: By default Nim will still use the GC which doesn't have any "footguns". ARC and ORC are new features which have different trade-offs, and some limitations. You opt-in to using them if you're interested.

Just to clarify: This result follows directly from the definition of the derivative: f'(x) = lim_{e->0} (f(x+e) - f(x))/e If you're able to express f(x+e) on the form (f(x) + y e) then it follows that y is the derivative.
