This is, more than anything, an argument for a `defer` statement, of the sort you can enjoy in Zig right now. Or hopefully, eventually, in C, thanks to the tireless efforts of JeanHeyde Meneide: https://thephd.dev/just-put-r

It's true that, as a pre-1.0 language, choosing Zig means taking on the implementation burden of changing code to keep up with language changes. But it's already being used in production in a surprising number of places. Wanting

One of the local dairies has better milk, and anything derived from milk, than the others. Their secret is that some of the herd is of Guernsey and Jersey breed. Milk from only those cows is yellowish in hue, and certainly richer in fat,

You can't measure nitrogen isotopes from fat, because it doesn't have any nitrogen. That comes from protein, so that's what they're measuring.

Having done fairly extensive parsing work in Lua and Julia on the one hand (one-based), and Python, Javascript, and Zig on the other (zero-based), the zero-based semiopen standard makes intervals dramatically easier to calculate and work wi

My problem with what you're saying is that it relies on affirming the antecedent. Which not a proposition I believe to be correct, and in fact, view as denigration and slander of my countrymen. I do not look kindly on that.

Which makes rot a good metaphor actually. The DNA of a tree which becomes infected with a new mutation of a fungus didn't change, the fungus did. Code in which a vulnerability is discovered is in the same position. It's developed

Japan is roughly as close to Nippon as doitsu is to Deutsch. The Germans are somewhat extreme on the exonymic spectrum, there are something like six distinct terms used in Europe for them. I've never heard one complain about it.

This is often true on the journey to reach feature-parity with an original codebase. The reason is obvious, of course: it has less features, and doing nothing is always faster than doing something. Once it's feature complete, then mean

Untyped computation in the academic sense you refer to is untyped in the sense of Forth and assembler. The untyped lambda calculus doesn't even have numbers. Pragmatically, a language in which type errors occur is a typed language.
