Yup, this was not flip-flopping, it was willingness to be open to options, even if it means going back on a decision branch made earlier in the process. For the Ladybird project, now is the best time to be making a big decision like this, a

I agree and foresee a future, maybe a decade from now, when the trend shifts to everyone rewriting all the Rust written or generated in the meantime to something else, a newer hopefully simpler language that accomplishes the same thing.

But then you have state in two places, user code and the retained-mode GUI framework, which need to be synced - that's where complexity creeps in. Immediate mode removes that redundancy and makes things simpler in many situations. It

Eventually I imagine a JS/TS runtime written in Rust will be mainstream and what everyone uses.

True, I agree. It's a good thing to accept a language's limitations and areas of suitability, without any judgement about whether the language is good for all purposes - which is likely not a good goal for a language to have any

Nothing, but it will happen anyway. Maybe improved memory safety and security, at least as a plausible excuse to get funding for it. Perhaps also improved enthusiasm of developers, since they seem to enjoy the newness of Rust over working w

I'm going to call it: a Rust implementation of JavaScript runtime (and TypeScript compiler) will eventually overtake the official TypeScript compiler now being rewritten in Go.

> If you compare Clojure (77.91%) to C# (58.4%), it seems the average C# developer writes 20% more redundant code every single day just to satisfy the compiler. Even with tools like resharper and LLM’s to help thats not a insignificant a

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of React devs cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

This but unironically. Of course review your own work. But QA is best done by people other than those who develop the product. Having another set of eyes to check your work is as old as science.

Even within a single computer or program, there is need for communication protocols and shared understanding - such as types, data schema, function signatures. It's the interface between functions, programs, languages, machines. It cou

So interesting to hear about the internals of the browser, how it evolved from a standard library in an OS project. It's the kind of insight that's rarely documented, spoken about, or even known to anybody other than the author. I

The best kind of absurd experiment, pushing the limits of technology and reason, just to see if it can be done. The adventurous spirit of "What if?" and "Why not!" I love when such an idea is implemented seriously, like

It sounds like Zig would benefit from someone like you on the inside, as a member or active contributor, reviewing and participating in the development of the standard library. Zig is one of my favorite new languages, I really like the cros
