Technically you're right, practically #2 and #3 are the Ram and the Silverado, so it does not really change my argument. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/g39628015/best-selling-car...

That's a fair point. However, if energy scarcity pushes us globally toward a situation where we need more essential cars for slower, shorter routes, then it would make sense to downgrade a bit those tests, as the typical use would be c

It's still a huge heavy vehicle that is everything but aerodynamic. Having it as the average Joe's car is aberrant.

And? As long it gets the job done, problem solved. Using a 2.5tons F150 guzzling 12l/100km to buy grocery or commute should not be seen as the ultimate goal. Just for fun: most sold car in the US (F150) vs. most sold car in France (208

Does it compile AoT or are you stuck with Julia start time?

That's a very limited perspective. I have worked in HPC, Cryptography and Genetics, and Rust is sailing full speed in all these domains -- which are as remote as may be from WebDev & Mozilla.

Because you would not have any growable vector/list structure otherwise. The real problem is that Go merrily lets you have copy-and-append operation on a slice (good), subviews of a slice so that you can share subsets of the data witho

Firstly, your assimilation of African-American as al the Black people is a bit reducing. Secondly, even accepting so, would dumping on Chinese, Indians or Mexicans be A-OK then?

That's desktop only. We already have Qt playing in the same ballpark, and doing both better and worse depending how you look at it. Nice cross-smartphone-tablet-desktop however is a no-app's land.

No, I mean lost as in “broke down”. I may be a statistical anomaly, but although modern USB sticks are pretty reliable, I experienced an awful track record w.r.t. the ones from the 2000's-2010's.
