Yes, this is the best workflow (though I'm curious how you get 5ms latency with a full dev env restart -- fork/exec alone takes 1-5ms on my 2020 macbook). Nits aside use the same style and have set a time budget of 50ms for myself

I am curious why they chose to build their own rendering engine. They could have first written a terminal application with the same (at least functionally) collaboration features and gotten a cross platform solution almost for free. From a

Constant interruptions are the biggest enemy of top performers. Everyone should have the right to at least a few hours of freedom for interruption except in the case of genuine emergency. There is a problem in the organization if people can

These are all fair points though they mostly can be addressed at the application layer. One could, for example, use a wrapper that opens the sqlite library and immediately turns foreign keys on. One does this once per language in your proje

I'm pretty sure sqlite is capable of significantly higher throughput that 10-20k rows per second depending on the workload. Inserts can be much faster if they are batched in large transactions and prepared statements are used to avoid

The best way to deal with this kind of thing is to write a small language that transpiles to the subset of c that you are using.

Thank you. That response was clarifying. I understand now what you mean. Funnily enough though, the paper you cited begins: "Any discussion on the foundations of computing runs into severe problems right at the start. The difficulty is

Do you have sources for your definition? The original definition that I'm finding from Quine seems to broadly support the interpretation that an expression is referentially transparent if it can be replaced by its value without alterin

Yeah, I don't really understand why they didn't just comment out the high level function call (option 3) and inline option 4 below. Then they could have clarity and performance.

I'm not anti-color in general, but I think its use should be reserved to where it is truly helpful. Often it feels like it's value is mostly just superficial pizazz. Grep highlighting matches is one of the examples where color is

I agree. The most important feature of a high level programming language is first class closures with lexical scoping. Almost every design pattern, including the IOC in the original article, can be implemented with them (along with a few ot

Yes, and when it was announced, it took 2 minutes and IIRC 2-4GB of ram to compile (I believe this was with the LLVM backend). I consider 2 minutes to self compile a language slow. I have personally written a compiler for a simpler language
