C may not have generic types, but much of the standard library does use generics, just through the unsafe mechanism of `void*`. Likewise, go already includes some generic code (the array type), it's just treated specially.

Not OP, but they mean the standard library, which is the set of functions, objects, and datatypes that come with langauge. That's not really the best way to learn a language, since you'll usually have the documentation at hand if

I'm sure they could (don't know they if should ). If you'd like to learn more about Racket's language building infrastructure, check out: https://beautifulracket.com/

I have found total checks in languages like idris helpful, but really only for catching small mistakes that I've made (for example, recursing on the original argument)

As in the US trust's them to fund terrorists in way that advantages us? Then yes, we agree on the state of the world. I just think it's bad.

Purposely funding terrorism does go unpunished, if you're a US ally. This is my point, that our sanctions against Iran have nothing to do with "morality". They are about power.

Hey at least you've gained the introspection to realize it. That takes effort. I've also been that guy, and hope I am not still.

Unfortunately. Just an example. Gay/Trans rights would also be a good example.

Indeed. Languages like idris have the `total` keyword that runs a halting checker on functions. Of course, as you mentioned, there are functions that might halt that it can't figure out. But it's pretty darn good.

One thing that I like about these style of games is that they subtract the fiddly parts of programming that I don't find particularly enjoyable: things like dependency management, fiddly environment details, differing compiler versions

I was asked for an example of the organization being lawless, I gave a concrete example of the organization failing the most basic of accountability measures: Being asked under oath about their processes. The leader of the organization lied

If you're asking how people can hold contradictory ideas... then I'd invite you do some self reflection. You probably hold some. We all do. Striving towards clarity of thought takes a while. As for white supremacists in specific,

You implied they were true (or at least questioned it). I gave my arguments as to why I think they are both false, A) being a lack of evidence, B) imperialism as a more believable explanation with more evidence. Ball is in your court
