Key word: should I'm not suggesting they are suppressing or missing anything, but I would suggest we stay open to both possibilities.

I think what I'm trying to say is that because absolute truth is so hard to determine, it is imperative that people have the ability to decide for themselves from the data what they believe to be true, even if it is "wrong" (

Truth, real truth, never changes - which is why it is so important to be slow to declare it. Our best collective understanding at a particular time is exactly that, but that is different than truth or fact, because often that understanding

I am 44 and if I had to sum up what I've learned in my life into one concept it would be this: The truth, real truth, is EXTREMELY hard to ascertain. Therefore, be open to new ideas, but slow to accept anything as absolute truth. Those

Agreed, when I see comments like this I tend to think they haven't spent much time using the language. It takes a while, but after a month or so you can read just about any Rust code. Honestly, feels like a much simpler language in day

Not sure about now with multicore, but pretty sure OCaml had a "bump" memory allocator previously. These are just a little bit slower than stack allocation as they just involve a pointer increment and is important in functional la

Many people (like myself) are very happy with Linux and have been for years. We have no interest in "auto rebooting for security patches", "treating file locking like it was security" or having "relevant ads" s

I thought this as well before I had used the language for major projects, but in practice, I found it not the case (at least for me). Your list of concerns I do not find to be anything I think about day to day as I'm coding. I just wri

Also a Rust "fanboy" and I would disagree. I'm amazed how productive I am in Rust (about 6 months in). I've written tons of Go as well, and I write Rust faster (What I was expecting was to write better code, but have it

This must be it and ditto for me on Rust. It feels like they made the language just for me.

Interesting - I've also written a ton of code in those languages (not as much in Haskell), and Go would be my last choice by a large margin (and Rust my favorite by a wide margin). I went through a love/hate relationship for a whi
