Hardly anything worthwhile, like paper straws, those are the kind of feel good measures, while the planet gets destroyed via wars, depletion of resources, wild construction, fires actually started by pyromanics and speculation for burned wo

They never will, as mentioned they have decided not to support what became optional in C11. If C23 ever comes to land on MSVC, which I have my doubts given the radio silence on C support, I assume they might add the VLAs part that made it a

Scala is in the way to get capture checking for effects, which will allow to do RAII like stuff, or borrow checker like stuff for that matter.

The interesting case is the Common Language Runtime, not C#. > More than 20 programming tools vendors offer some 26 programming languages — including C++, Perl, Python, Java, COBOL, RPG and Haskell — on .NET. https://news.micr

Some fact correcting, first of all while most people refer to "The JVM", most likely impling OpenJDK, Java is a standard and there are many implementations. Which exactly in this subject varies a lot between implementations, on ho

It should not be a problem, given how many love to use CLI and TUI workflows stuck in the 1960-80's. :)

While I appreciate guest languages for bringing new ideas to specific language platforms, at the end of the day I rather use those that are developed alonside the platform, hence Erlang instead of Elixir, at least if I would be ever doing s

Additionally, although not the same, this kind of relates to JIT caches as well.

The best is kind of debatable as it lacks the IDE tooling from LispWorks and Allegro.

Morphic started on Self actually, maybe start there? I am unaware how it evolved since then, especially given the differences between Self and Smalltalk. https://handbook.selflanguage.org/2017.1/morphic.html https:&#x

Well, the features announced at WWDC 2026 naturally are yet to be made available in a mature form.

Well, even if that lands on the official standard, that means C29 as probable release year for C2y, plus adoption of the exact form across compilers to be able to rely on it being available.

Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Unisys, HP, Oracle/Sun have done that for a while now.

Agreed, even game devs that ignore Linux as target for their AAA games, actually tend to use Linux for game servers, the age of IIS with .NET/ISAPI is long gone, except for legacy code stuck in .NET Framework. Modern .NET did not went

Mostly because they forget Scheme is one of the few languages where TCO is part of the language standard, making it a required feature for any compliant implementation. This has always been an issue regarding TCO support across programming

It still doesn't, this is a compiler specific language extension. You won't find anything on ISO/IEC 9899:2024 about tail calls, like it happens on Scheme. https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14&#x2

I hardly see how this matters, when Apple and Microsoft already have their own in box solutions for the same problem. Better sandboxing for AI agents is exactly the main reason for containers improvements on macOS and Windows, with a few ta

One more reason to explore what it means to develop modern approaches to software development, instead of putting UNIX clones everywhere, basically frozen in time.

Itanium wasn't set in stone, a few times CPUs were redesigned to fix architecture issues, naturally for WinIntel that became economic unfeasible the moment AMD64 became an alternative. Without it, Intel would most likely kept iterating

It is all what ifs by now, however I firmly believe if there was no other option other than Wintel, Intel would keep pushing Itanium and sort out the design issues. The thing with AMD64 is that now there is this myth that there was no other
