Surely if you use code generation to create an "IntFancyDataStructure" then, once generated, type safety is ensured? There's no type erasure, no interface{} etc., in fact from compiler's point of view it's as simple

Right, but considering this guy made a "reality" video featuring him totally pointlessly walking around outside, this level ignorance seems par for the course. The worst part is that this type of pathetic behaviour will no doubt l

This looks fantastic. I look forward to reading, and implementing my next special snowflake language -- with a real VM this time!

I'm a C++ dev and this sounds extremely interesting. I have nim a spin a year ago and really liked what I saw, but GC was a real issue because I'm doing audio development where you end up having to circumvent the GC anyway. I woul

Sorry, that comment was a bit flippant -- I have huge respect for the Rust language and community and agree that the left-pad-debacle is pretty unlikely to happen there. What I meant is that I consider static blog generation so simple that

The website is a commercial one which accepts payments and vends licenses ( https://zenaud.io ). So some kind of dynamic website is necessary. Printing to static html is a file (51 LOC) with a single function definition. I'm

I have to say I don't really understand the point of these projects. Faced with the problem of generating a static part for my website, I just used Django to "print" the static part. I'm not saying you need to use Django

This is a really interesting analysis; thanks for sharing. I asked a general question, and you gave a general answer, so I'm not trying to pick holes in your statement. That said, I think the picture you paint is more negative than is

I agree with everything except the last sentence, at least insofar as it applies to Kim Jong-un. As you allude to yourself, he is behaving rationally if speculatively. I'm curious as to what you think the right course of action would b

Although I don't doubt that there's an element of sincerity in Musk's many pronouncements, all this talk of AI is also great way of signalling that he's at the technological forefront.

I think the parent poster was referring to the fact that the critical thing is that a) you can define a function within the scope of another function, and b) you can return the inner function. To do this requires something called a closure,

Good question. The answer is a qualified yes. zenAud.io supports on/off triggering via command tracks , which can learn midi CCs or the like. You can then route the trigger to transport position (you just type in the bar you want to

Exactly! Just like any other DAW you can draw loops with pencils. But with zenAud.io, rather than having one pencil, you have two: one for drawing loops you intend to perform live -- so-called record loops --, and the other type allow

You harbour bitterness towards guitarists in general or those (like me) that butcher classical pieces of music? Or am I missing something else? :)

Haha, that brings up fond memories practising Giga on the guitar!

zenAud.io is designed for live use, so it currently doesn't have a piano roll -- instead, you define record loops using editing tools in the arrangement view and record MIDI or audio into it. You can also drag and drop to import standa

Yes, it is a shame. But: I will add it, along with Windows support. Indeed, I'll go further. I'm really starting to believe that the only way not to get royally screwed as an app developer is by abandoning the "major" pl

I've submitted a similar message (which was flagged [what does this mean?]). For what it's worth I'm seeing the same thing.

This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I actually thought the driver was exceedingly rude. He clearly took advantage of Kalanick being in the public eye, and thus a "target". Filming him without acknowledging it was total
