I would have loved to see the performance comparison between Rust and Golang for the desktop app. Historically, GC language based desktops (Java,C#,Electron) are laggy, less performant or consume a large amount of memory compared to the nat

There is no supply shortage, that leads to over production and inability of firms to make profit. Any artificial shortage through government mandate is easily circumvented on "the street". Kinda hard not to see this outcome.

Good chance AI has winner-take-all dynamics. So while the field itself might be very hot and valuable, only a few will make massive bank and rest will get nothing. Like trying to be a basketball or soccer star, much demand and prestige but

Love linking Julia like it's an unknown language :-). It would be good if more people enjoy it for the first time.

Using Julia as non-numerics/non-scientific systems language is not a good fit. So, not surprising you are not finding it as useful as Rust. JIT performance notwithstanding. As for Python, it is getting defaulted to any and every progra

Dude, six months back you were fed up with Julia and wanted to move to Carbon . How did that work out? Now you want to move to Mojo?? Who’s funding any of these attempts or are you just screwing around with some small personal scripts. htt

Wow, didn't know that. RIP. I was eagerly waiting for the 6th edition of C++ Primer (with Josée Lajoie and Barbara Moo) but looks like that might be delayed indefinitely. The 5th edition is what really got C++11 to click for me, very c

I navigated to the course site and turns out the professor directly links to pirated copies of comprehensive sources on libgen. Thought it was pretty funny that he doesn't care about copyright being a professor at a public university :

A bit confused with the "announcement", this book has been out for a while. I have the paper copy from almost 8 months ago. Did something change? In any case, as others have noted very good book.

You seem to have a weird fetish for composable ranges seeing your history of comments on exactly this topic (even this thread!). The number of times I have had to think about composability as you mention is close to zero. In fact, the off
