Don't have a comparison, but I've written toy languages in a few of them. I only really feel confident to talk about Rust, Rust stands out when it comes to parsing (functional bros unite), but does suffer when interpreting because

Exactly, if these tools are going to be so revolutionary and different within the next 6 months and even more so beyond that - there's no advantage to being an early adopter since your progress becomes invalid, may as well wait until i

You missed my point, the original comment is stating that the market for such a device doesn't exist because developers are too finicky and customisation focussed. As a counter example - look at macbooks which are about as un-customisa

You're misunderstanding - the issue isn't with mascots. The issue is with the furry community who take their fetishes way too far. For example the Tony the Tiger accounts had to be shut down after facing years-long constant sexual

For me they're both about equally shitty, but with Github you get a nice commit calendar to show off to recruiters - so Github wins IMO.

I'm currently coding a Gameboy (which kinda has a Z80) emulator and it's so much fun! (I'm in my mid-20s for context) I've never really worked on such a low level, the closest I've gotten before is bytecode - which
