I don't understand why people insist on simulating a poor substitute for RAII with a feature that is itself almost decent RAII. > If malloc fails and returns NULL, the cleanup function will still be called, and there’s no simple way

You could replace specialized terms with nonsense words in anything. This is completely non-actionable critique. In the end, there is no Royal Road to learning. You have to create put in the effort to create new concepts in your head to und

Same typewriters that didn't bother having dedicated "0" and "1" keys?

How does it prevent security vulnerabilities when instead of being undefined entirely, the behaviour is defined to be wrong? This is the "chug along at all costs" mentality that PHP has been slowly and painfully growing out of. `

Yeah, except this one is much more arbitrary in its choice of groupings and arrangement. Why is the boolean and Unicode scalar type in the same column as floating-point types? Why is the ! type not next to enums if () is next to tuples?

The distinction between #3 and #4 does not matter in practice: "I have learned to use variable initializers, that's why there isn't one present". As soon as you make it reliable, people will start to rely on it and it w

Why bother with this category? The code exercising it is buggy either way, regardless of whether the behaviour is specified or not, and having a fixed definition may constrain implementations and negatively impact performance. And if that &
