Totally! I have dream of build a replacement for FoxPro/Access/Excel and have the time for it will be great!.

I WANNA. You bet on it. But I need to install that stuff so I can run the integration, do the tests, see how they work, add a little code of it, etc. For example, I need to install https://www.elevatesoft.com/products?catego

What is more interesting: Implement it was pretty simple and I don't resort to anything fancy. P.D: You have the link to the Jsoftware community? Or wanna link back from here?

Yeah, that is why I say upfront that is "nice one-trick pony" and tied to a specific (if very useful) data pattern. How update after the fact is something I haven't implemented and one of the reasons I deviate from the way is

Is easy to blame the wish of people for this (and IS true), but the major point is this: A enterprise NEEDS ALL. I work in this niche (mostly for small companies), and what I see for this past +25 years is that even the most "small&quo

This is, I think, the gist of array langs like APL. Vectors + tight inner loops are very close to be great.

Copies. Have any simple-ish tech stack, and have many copies of the SAME thing. ie: Get N-ipads, N-rasperrys, etc. Then N copies of whatever you need to power, connect, protect, etc (cables, routers, ups, batteries, etc). Then N copies of t

Example: - Exist 2 ways to do macros. - Exist different ways to annotate traits (impl and the long way) - Alias work, but not everywhere - The module system is too complicated - You have pub and pub(crate). The second must have been the def

I work on CRUD for life. Rust is GREAT for that. Is not the safety (borrow checker) but the combination of: Bare structs, enums, pattern matching and some traits (like Into) that make a breeze modeling business rules.

One thing that I wish were, at least, explored is how make Rust simpler. I bet Rust syntax and some complex and divergents ways of typing are major implications on how Rust compile (you can see why, when comparing to Pascal). Also, modules,

I not arguing is effort-free, but is effort-minimal. The idea allows, at most, one or two major steps, the first and the biggest is as simple as is possible and can be done in one go, and have zero possibility of breaking. The only major is

You can done it, without complex tooling: 1. Have 3 versions of the thing to change: select_nospec, select_nospec_safe, select_nospec_unsafe. select_nospec_unsafe is identical to select_nospec. Do the mass replace. All stay same. 2. Delet

I go against the trend here: I start with natural with FoxPro, then I use surrogate keys for more than a decade (following dogma...) and revert to natural ones a few years ago. To make it more fun, the data come from DOZENS of different ERP

After using Rust a lot, the borrow checker is not that bothersome actually. Exist MANY more things that are far more significant as causes to fear Rust: - Is actually complex language! - It has weird, inconsistent inter-mixed between traits
