No aggressive promotion, no VC-esque backing. Which is very good for Matrix.

Probably the best workaround for this is going into the foreign memory land - grab some raw memory, define operators over it, manage all that yourself. CFFI works across enough implementations for this to be feasible.

Yes. That's a consequence of language design - unboxed arrays of structs mean no object identity, which means that operators like SETF and EQ no longer have their invariants satisfied when performing assignment to such arrays.

It does, in form of a sane macro system with the full language available for use at compilation time - something that C++ never had and still doesn't have. No, consteval and constexpr aren't equivalent. No, CPP is not a sane macro

Adding the time limit and actually making the clock go faster when a player is (purposefully) going off the rails is a sinister trick to ensure that players get the expected ending message. Clever that the programmer throught of these cas

The code is useless without the keys used to sign it; even if you get a custom blob, you are unable to have it recognized by the device in question. This is tivoization at its finest.

Still complex compared to Polish, which has a ratio of letters-to-phonemes much closer to 1 (five digraphs in total). While it's a hard language to learn overall, its orthography is one of the parts that are pretty simple compared to E

I don't know what kind it uses, but it's not phonetic, because the graphemes do not represent phonemes, despite your claims. If English was truly phonetic, to name a few examples again: the pronunciation of "are" would

If that is the case, how would you describe the act of comparing English to languages which actually have consistent letter-phoneme pronunciation throughout the language (starting with e.g. the same number of available letters and phoneme

Yep. Might have forgotten to add an implicit /s at the end of the original question.

The fact that it uses Latin letters doesn't make it phonetic if the same letter consistently resolves to different phonemes or lack thereof, depending on its context.
