Well, I've refactored large portions of Rust code with ease and I can't imagine doing it with any C/C++ code because I might break some invariant somewhere.

Not having exception is not having incorrect code i.e. code that does not throw. This is very hard to do in languages that naturally throws exception like Java or C/C++. If you have errors as part of the contract however...now you can

I am pretty sure all form of public social media is toxic. If you give people: 1. a platform to speak their mind (basically can type anything) 2. is public (as opposed to private like Discord servers) then you will get everything bad about

The kernel is just a bunch of code. What prevents the browsers from implementing all the capabilities of the kernel? Why can't my computer boots into a browser directly and it then figures out how to talk and manage the hardware direct

by kajaktum 4y ago
No, what I mean is that our browsers are becoming OSes. So why don't OSes become more like browsers? The way it works now is that each of my tabs have their own VM (tabs) that runs on another VM (browsers) which itself runs on another

Can someone tell me why OSes can't do what browsers do? It seems to me that browsers are the OS of today so why not just skip the middleman and make it first class? It seems to be a layer that exists solely because the 3 competing OSes

>What signature do you get from "if err := myFunction()"? You provided an example from Go which is almost like an exception. And I think it is bad. You have a function that returns....something?? Instead, if you have something

>All popular languages have some way to encode the fact that a value is absent. The problem is that many languages don't make the distinction in the type system. Why oh why do we not force everyone to null check every time?

>Since the language is GC'd and doesn't have language support to make a result type practical, it seems like exceptions are a no brainer. Elaborate? What prevents Go from introducing result monad aside from the syntax?

by kajaktum 4y ago
The answer to error handling is ADT like Result<T, E> or Maybe<T>. The problem with old exception is that it is not part of the function signature. If a function says it accept a key and return a value; why should I expect it to

I am curios to know if the trait system helps a lot with mapping the underlying kernel features/quirks? Which language is better at creating abstractions that maps closer to how the kernel works?

Half the comments here are talking about the vtuber herself. Who cares. It's been talked before. Just imagine if half the thread is discussing what gender she is. What I am interested in is the claims here https://asahilinux

Constructors was a mistake. Stupid and simple initialisation like Rust and Go is the way to go forward.

So you’d rather have more bugs than less? Given any piece of JS code, you can’t actually reason about it unless you also know its caller. Or you do defensive programming. At which point, why even bother.

I used to think that free will existed but now I am surprised we even think that. Just looking inwards is enough to convince me that I have no idea what I am going to think next, type next, or how I am even going to finish this sentence. It

It doesn’t matter if I like it or not my point is that it is not a C replacement. Unless you are talking about personal preference then sure. But I don’t think we as an industry should look to replace C with Go.

by kajaktum 4y ago
Oh yes, the language that STILL have null pointer dereference is a good replacement for C in this day and age. Please. Go feels like a person stuck in the 80s idea of a modern programming language. Oh and the idiom of the language is to tre

It's so that when you are 50 function calls deep you don't have to remember if you are handling a verified email or not. This is the same problem I have with "sum types" as implemented in languages that don't have a
