Slightly orthogonal to this: is there a good tutorial on writing your own simple Xserver?

Or use a `make` from any of Msys, Msys2, Cygwin, WSL, Gow or any of the assorted GNU util ports.

An issue, though not an unsolvable one, is that you probably need a standardized representation of the AST to write these optimization passes against; it is not uncommon for compiler writers to disagree on what representation is the best fo

What feature of rust traits make them "dynamic" as opposed to the traditional notion of typed interfaces? The latter had been part of static languages for quite a while.

Not that OP, but in keeping with his concern about incentives, it is not like Karpathy (at least) has no incentive in keeping Elon Musk's public image intact.

Exactly. And the usage of something like "asti" (for "existence" or "being") is at least as old as the Rig Vedas.

> thus a record of a time when man had no independent word for ‘existence’ This also seems a bit strange to me. Sanskrit has words for 'existence', in fact more than one, that has nothing to do with 'bhu' (the growth

Another alternate is "Practical Foundations for Programming Languages" by Bob Harper [1]. It is a bit more broad than TAPL (imo). [1] https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/pfpl/

How different is that from at-will employment though? You can be fired at any time and for more or less any non-federally-protected reason (and can quit any time too). That seems pretty uncontroversial in the US at least.
