Ownership models like Rust require a grester ability for holistic refactoring, otherwise a change in one place causes a lifetime issue elsewhere. This is actually exactly what LLM's are doing the worst at. Beyond that, a Python with so

Right, and popularity is the ultimate determinant of value. Maybe you are simply ignorant of how many systems might actually run a lisp or similar "irrelevant" programming language in the systems you interact with. From airline re

The thing about not having loads of syntax is that at some point, there is not much to do aside from polishing. I don't know why it would feel comforting to people that languages like python/c++/rust keep piling on syntax and

I actually don't think it's that cut and dry. I expect especially that rust (due to lifetimes) will stump LLMs - fixing locally triggers a need for refactor elsewhere. I actually think a language like Clojure (very functional, ver

Would be better to offer specifics so people can actually look into it rather than take what YOU took from it on face value. Journalists typically write, not draw. Was there an article ? On which grounds was the journalist sentenced ? So on

So. You believe freely expressing yourself in China will be less dangerous than in Europe ? I don't think anyone will take that seriously.

Having Russia roll through the states of all your principal trading partners is probably no fun. Adventurism is such a poor take in this case.

And as you aptly demonstrated. You don't care about the security needs of your allies. As for free support. Have you any clue how much economy of scale is unlocked by selling to other markets ? You profit from the sales, you profit fro

Beyond being morally reprehensible (and it really is), this is a humongous own-goal. I don't think US arms manufacturers should expect many future orders from the EU.

There is, actually. Instability where you win or lose based on which loony is next in driver's seat is not super appealing for folks on the outside, you know, those who get the stick. WRT tariffs, both economists and more layman's

Interesting, thanks for sharing :) Can you speak to how this differs in PDF extraction from, say, pymupdf, pdfplumber, unsloth and so on ? I know the async part is probably a thing, but when building a RAG I would be brutally focused on the

Yes. So there may be a price to pay, one day. But a vague, unsubstantiated feeling that one day, you might introduce a one-off indexing bug should not justify discarding Lua, and all its substantial benefits over project. Arguing the pro&

That is a very condescending tone. Perhaps instead the more constructive path would have been to try and defend why one (cargo, rust) cannot do what another (zig) can. So far, all I can infer is an acceptance of how compiling C code is hard

The answer as a whole is serious, I said as much, read again. A singled out this one point, because it is not. It is akin to any other knee-jerk dismissive attitude to anything different. Casting away a far more proven language, used for

Not in this case. No one can convince me thst 0-based indexing is worth more than widespread editor syntax -highlighting support, working LSPs, lots of blog posts, books and more vs a new niche language whose marquee feature seems to be it
109.
by pseudony 2y ago
This is a cargo deficiency then. Zig has no problem using Lua (via the Ziglua wrapper) and cross-compilation is a single command away. Rather than developing and increasingly insular (navel-gazing?) ecosystem, it might be better to work on

"suffer" 1-indexing vs no LSP, no books, no test-of-time, no ecosystem, no type annotations, slower. I don't mean to be overly harsh, but this is just not a valid/serious answer. The other reasons are fine. This is pure

Not going to dissuade anyone from having fun hobby projects. But legitimate question: why would I choose this over Lua, which is probably faster, super easy to embed and has a larger ecosystem. (Please, saying "Rust" or memory-saf

Last I checked, Julia actually compiled rather slowly, making development a lot less fluent than a Lisp. Beyond that, wrapping C code from Julia is neither nicer nor worse than from CL. Wrapping C code is basically done everywhere except fo

I think so. I am a European, and a Tesla owner. I don't think it's my right to tell Americans how to settle domestic affairs or run their elections. However, my incentive to buy another Tesla also reduced when the figurehead of sa

I have a T14s (AMD) which works very nicely, battery lasts for long 7-8 hours and things generally work. Before that, I had a P14s Gen1 for work. No matter what, that system runs a bit hot and battery times are awful. I haven't dedicat

Not necessarily true. LuaLS, the most popular LSP, uses LuaCATS (Lua comments and type system) annotations. You can place annotation files (type stubs) in a directory and the LSP will pick them up. I use this for a project of mine where I
