It's a subject which interest me very much as I'm the father of boys who were misdiagnosed as autist (turns out that twins do have a different development but doctors don't know about it). On one hand if it's real that

What's really sad is that not having overloading "ON" by default is a good idea, but it doesn't mean that language has to stop there, it's really simple to have a small language feature which would say that a #every

Nobody said they're impossible but believing that they would make sense economically even after they switched to maglev was the dumb part.

Couldn't this kind of things be caught by type checking? 1-indexed vectors should be different type than arbitrary offset vector (implicitly convertible in one way only).

Replace theory with abstraction/mental model/concept and then the blog becomes quite obvious. Yes, grokking code is hard, especially low level code where the WHAT to do is intertwined with the HOW.

Ex-vim user here. No, I've tried it many times and finally I'm using VSCode for good: I don't think that vim is good enough as an IDE unless you accept to change your workflow to adapt to vim. I've also tried SpaceVim

It depends on the users and the typewriter but it could be quite frequent: I remember an old typewriter which didn't have é so you had to use e and ' to make it, same for ê, etc.

Given that Zig is memory unsafe it isn't either a good general purpose language. IMO a good GPR is memory safe (no C, C++, Zig), is easy to use(no Rust), has strong static typing (no Perl, Python, Ruby) and is "stable" (no Sc

The problem with postfix * for dereferencing is that it would look like a multiplication.. That's why I would have used a postfix @ for dereferencing.

I find quite funny that one reason why its "fill..ellipse" example is hard to read is because it's setting global variables and this is never discussed in the webpage. > my_nice_color = color(161, 219, 114); ellispe(65, 50

This reminds me of Arcan where the goal number 1 is robustness, which is probably a good idea given the complexity of GUIs.

In the general case you're right, in this case where the optimization is related to the usage of uninitialized memory I don't think that you're correct. Of course this means that the programmer must 'think like an optimi

I'm not sure about what is really 'simplicity'.. If I program in assembly languages I don't need a huge compiler to generate the executable so the system is simpler but for the programmer it's also more complex beca

Note that in Zig an unsigned overflow is also an UB in release unchecked mode. Don't like it? Don't use unchecked mode or use wrapping operators..

What's strange is that if you had started with a Lisp, it would have been much simpler! And yet few people think about using a Lisp for their DSL.

What's a bit sad is that now with Zig/Idris you can finally easily make a type checked printf but in the meantime Python use fstrings which are much more ergonomic than prinf and AFAIK you can't make statically checked fstrin

A good part of the article is about a non-realistic microbenchmark (nobody spawns empty threads ).. Also measuring the performance difference with threads making some work would be more interesting IMHO.
