It's not about removing redundancies or landmarks, it's about Rust having made some not-so-good choices. It's slowly becoming apparent to more people (e. g. compare the screeching a few years ago about Rust's wrong choic

I rarely see submissions with such a high proportion of flagged/dead posts ... I wonder what it is that brings the crazies out of the woodwork, whenever some congress announcement happens.

Do you have a trusted person that you can hit up for some advice on how human interaction in a society works? Please do it. Because the more I read from you, the more I believe that you are either severely mentally ill or just an enormous a

Congratulations, literally everything about this is wrong. Not sure in what kind of fantasy world you live in, but get help. Maybe lay off your "supplements" for a bit.

My advice: Stop trying to get into fights with everyone, and no, the whole world isn't out there to get you. I hope you learn to interact more positively and constructively with your surroundings. Until then, please go away.

Realistically speaking, everything in C is undefined behaviour.

Imagine being such a regressive, that you believe you can other can write "correct C", despite decades of evidence of the opposite.

As someone else already mentioned, "your response is kind of harsh". Why not try and be a bit more kind?

Why would it be slower? Indexing may incur range checks, but iterators/combinators are pretty much destined to have them elided.

Perhaps macros shouldn't do things that aren't "obvious" then?

by simon_o 5y ago
Exactly. ! for macros was a mistake anyway, I guess that's why they stopped using it with await.

The GP made nothing more than a prediction about the future. Let's let the future determine whether he was right or wrong, no need for squabbling.

Oh wow ... that guy ... is also doing this? That certainly puts his participation in the namespacing debates into a new light.

Would love to switch back to Firefox, but the general UX is just too terrible. I also lack the trust that even if they fixed the major issues (or even allowed fixing them yourself) I would be able to rely on things working in the mid-to-lon

Freetype has been superior to Microsoft's and Apple's implementation for years, with incremental improvements ever since. One of the reasons I would never buy a Windows or macOS machine. These companies really need to sort out the
