It depends how it gets prioritized by the companies that own and contribute to these codebases - both open and private source. Right now there's not much incentive financially to migrate away from any of the existing code, so more ofte

Point number one: agreed, Western Imperialism. However (ignoring the ad hominem), I don't agree with your second point that a more education citizen will not necessarily make better decisions than less educated ones. Obviously everyone

Curious how you guys feel about the article. It takes a pretty strong stance, but - for those of us working on teams - it's easy to get caught up in a Code Review and come out with a sour experience. Have any of you stopped advocating

Shame on this article. We should be researching everything within moral limits. Everything. Research all of it so hard that there's no long any debate about whether this point or that has any standing because it's so well understo

> It feels like Apple hate is becoming a meme. Hasn't it always been, though? This probably comes off as conspiracy-theoretic, but I feel like there's a real financial incentive to keep their stock prices as in-flux as possible

Cool, just pointing it out because it seemed typographically out of place.

Looks great, but did you mean to use `@` as a symbol?

There's a learning curve, sure. I don't know if it qualifies as "hard" though - once you've figured it out it doesn't exactly get _more_ complicated. Well, unless you add Kubernetes on top of that... then yeah,

I don't think anyone fits that description.

You mean we had access to Basic in Excel for all this time? I'm really behind the curve!

C++ inheritance doesn't map well to Rust's trait system for one. I think this is an ongoing issue within the `bindgen` community, but I don't know much beyond that. Suffice to say, some concepts in C++ do not map well to Rust

I think one thing that's important here is that China has a lot of pull on these companies. It's possible for China to look at Google, Apple, or whatever and just say "oh, too bad you don't want to do X. I guess we'

I remember having serious issues when I was younger with this. It's still sort of a a problem, but I've learned to cope. I'd also be interested if you documented your setup :).

Another useful tool I've been using for note-taking is `mdbook` which I think accomplishes the same thing - organizing markdown files into a book of sorts. Just thought I would throw the name out here in case anyone is looking for alte

It's harder to accidentally commit a running process's environment to version control ;)

Rust doesn't have linear types? You'll have to elaborate on that because Jim Blandy at least would say you are wrong.

That's true and definitely the fastest route to take - but if you were to tell me I was going to take over maintenance of a JQuery project at this point, I would be visibly upset. After working in an environment where two-way databindi

I feel like a warning for one edition and error on the next would make it straightforward as to how much time is left to update the code.

It depends how you architect. Generally yes. Check out the Elm architecture (and Redux by extension) to see situations where undo is essentially free.

Can I use F# with it? Because I would love to learn me some F# some day.

I'm not super familiar with C++, however Rust has an advantage over this example as it avoids iterator invalidation at compile time by assigning the iterator a lifetime.

Well, at least in the Rust ecosystem there is https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx which provides backends for Vulcan, Direct X 12, Metal and OpenGL. I'm not sure it's super relevant outside of the Rust ecosystem ri

Matz has talked about it as an opt-in. I think his opinion is to not force people to adopt it if they won't enjoy it or their productivity will be hampered by it.

It is really good, but there should always be alternatives. Right now I use iTerm, but both Terminal.app and Alacritty are viable alternatives I want to see improve.

I'm happy with that. There are a ton of classic games that need a consumer audience to ensure companies are invested in preserving them and porting them to future/modern systems.

Funny, I'm learning Scala for work after teaching myself Rust. It's definitely made the whole process a lot more straightforward thanks to the commonalities between them.
