That reminds me a problem I thought I had in STYX... For a few months I had the feeling that a good switch-expression requires the bottom type... It turns out that the `assert(0)` idiom, used in a lambda, is sufficient: var u32 a = sw

The only limit I've ever reached with BNF is that you cannot express permutations of given set of rules, you really have to write every possibility literally.

LUA definition of an identifier seems not strong enough for a configuration file: > Names (also called identifiers) in Lua can be any string of letters, digits, and underscores, not beginning with a digit. This coincides with the definit

More generally that relates to "innovation VS progress". Systematically linking the two concepts is a bias.

This globally good, two remarks however: > you don’t need to write destructors I think this is not accurate. Destructors are not deallocators, they are supposed to set the object field in an invalid state. Now truth is that both are ofte

I suspect one aspect is a sort of "generational gap". In the 2010's a lot of new languages were created by younger people who wanted to put their own language on the tracks: NiM, Zig, Odin, to name a few. Similarly, a second

I see that D is mentioned in the "other languages" paragraph. When the LLVM-based compiler is used we got the exact same codegen but just like for zig, it's possible to annotate the input buffer `@noalias` (essentially an LLV

D standard library uses much templates. So only what's used or what is not templatized get linked in the binary. The runtime somewhat tries to follows this too, aka the "pay-as-you-go" strategy as it is called in the dlang wo
