You can do debugging in a console-based text editor nowadays. Neovim has a DAP client for example. https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap . Works reasonably well for quick debugging even if you don't get all the

Yes, forgetting to assign is caught by the Zig compiler, my bad. (brainfart and confused with C++ there). What the compiler doesn't catch is signature mismatches such as anyopaque to *SomeType or incorrect adapters.

Hope you one day can get around to writing some blog posts or maybe even publish some books/courses on this - it sounds interesting!

No, I don't think the compiler will catch all errors. Wrong type specified in adapter, for example (typical copy-paste mistake). Signature mismatches between anyopaque and MyType, forgetting to assign a function in the v-table, etc

They don't do well in the US due to ideological aversion, no policy incentives and lack of funding platforms like community investment trusts. But they are quite successful in other nations. Amul in India for example.

I meant human error - easy to mess up when coding this boilerplate, esp if there are more number of methods. Sure some 'perfect' programmers will always get this right but the vast number of us regulars will not. Also, it is not

Would it truly kill Zig to add native interface support ? All that ceremony is quite heavy and also somewhat error prone. If nothing else, maybe they can add some helpers in the standard lib or codegen in the standard tooling to make stuff

Compilers simply could not keep up - that was reality, not just marketing. Ideally, Intel should have coded the compilers too and removed the rough edges. But they were a bit too slow and AMD ate Itanium's target market. You have to ad

The best way to use Rust is to circumvent use of the borrow-checker and lifetimes and use indices everywhere! Suddenly, it becomes more pleasant and easy to refactor :).

C++ really needs a fast-deprecate and kick out strategy for features that have proven to be poor - whether by bad design or bad implementation. And compilers should auto warn about such features.

If the struct has a well-scoped and short-lived lifecycle, then it is actually better to put the context in the struct. Many Go libraries including the stdlib do this despite not being "best practice". An exception to the short-li
