I read some time ago Odin's documentation, I was quite impressed. But I wonder if it shouldn't copy some Zig features: for example unsigned not wrapping by default are a good idea IMHO: this may detect errors in debug mode and may

I wouldn't say that it has a very strong Go fondation because it seems that Odin doesn't have an equivalent to God's channels..

That's because memory safety has a price: either a GC (which creates interoperability issues if you have two languages with GCs..) or a complexity price like in Rust.. So these languages stay memory unsafe but tries to minimise the iss

1) You just rephrased 'God has infinite history' I don't see the point. 2) 'nature say everything has to have a beginning' uh?? If you imagine the Universe expanding then contracting cyclically where is the beginnin

Sure, but the best car seats in the crash tests are wide.

by renox 4y ago
Yes, we had two move the seats like this: __X X __X Otherwise it doesn't fit. So far so good? No! The middle seatbelt isn't long enough so we had to buy an extension, which in theory is illegal in France :-( And don't get me

Very funny: we had a hard time finding a car wide enough to accomodate three child safety seats without being too long to park.. Now our children are getting older so this is less an issue, but (Europeans) car are still quite bad for three

I didn't say that light isn't quantized, I just said that for me blackbody radiation of ordinary matter isn't a convincing proof that light is quantized.. As for free electrons emitting blackbody radiations can you give me a

by renox 4y ago
I'm not so sure: 'black body' are made of atoms, atoms emits lights only on certain frequency due to the way electrons orbitals are structured, with discrete energy levels, but I don't see how this is related to EM fiel

This. I was doing Ethernet packet assembly/disassembly with one part in C, the other in Lua.. Let's just say that I'm not a Lua fan to say the least.

Given that I know have to use clang-format, the 'intellectual enjoyment of well-formated code' is a thing of the past. This isn't a criticism of clang-format, just that as it is now a tool which does the formatting, I focus o

I'm not convinced that pointer arithmetic is necessary for gamedev: Odin (which has swizzle built-in!) has pointers but no pointer arithmetic.

> * Retains the C/C++ definition of overflow of signed integers cannot overflow, unsigned can. That's o_O-worthy; the two should be aligned, and if they can't overflow, provide some form of wrapping integers as well. Agree

When looking for eleguant solutions: look at D, it's full of pearls: they use !() for generics.

Only if you use a code formatter (which you should) because otherwise there will be some 'fn foobar'(two spaces or more) just to annoy you..

The classical 'visualisation' of this is 'cake expansion'. If you think about what's happening inside a cake when you put it in an oven, it expands in all directions, and the center has only a meaning there because

Thanks for your answer. >You have to use a different set of operators to get modular arithmetic semantics. So, the choice is not a flag you flip at build time, but a choice of operators. Like Zig I think. As for 'panic at overflow&#

What's Austral story for integer overflow? Division errors are explained but not the other errors, I guess that they abort too?

That's weird, I really don't see the interest of 'automatic currying', optional/volontary currying? Sure that's interesting. But automatic I don't see the point, it's like automatic conversion in C: n

If you need this, you can split your application in two parts: one which creates the objects, then these objects are serialised to a 'configuration file formats' which can be audited and then used by the 'real' applicati

I agree with you on the first point, but I totally disagree with you on the second point: sure if you know how to reliably reproduce an issue it isn't complicated to debug, but this kind of issue can be difficult to reproduce, can crea
