I'm noticing some incorrect pronunciations here searching Polish names. At least one Englishy 'W' and some that sound lot more bizarre than they should due to recording issues. Any way to flag these?

As a love-hater of C++, Go did indeed feel like nothing new under the sun.

It may seem obvious, but I feel like the page you linked could use an occurrence of the word 'C++'. The code snippet was obvious to me, but just a thought.

Specifically, LuaJIT has a very well-designed bytecode optimized for decoding and with specialization for types. The bytecode dispatch is hand-written in assembly which exploits this. And this is all even if your code never sees a JIT -- Lu

Reference counting has an incremental performance burden because of predictable object freeing, while garbage collection has a periodic pause. On mobile devices you often must worry about response-times; it is a lot more easy to reason &#x2

There is this nature of software tools to grow in backwards-compatible ways inevitably becoming evolutionary dead-ends. Apple tried hard with features such as Automated Reference Counting (ARC) but inevitably it is still C glued with a hard

And how do you feel about forking and maintaining those libraries? I think the 'little' here means 'arcane'. If the code serves a solid purpose, and you understand it enough to maintain it, it should be better than writi

When will people get over syntax? It's a bit ridiculous how much time we spend fussing over ASCII considerations instead of working on novel ways to present code (making the manner it was written irrelevant).
