People like to bring up reference cycles a lot as if it's always a deal-breaker, but for short-lived processes it kind of seems like a non-issue. Anecdotally, we've seen Instagram get overall gains by disabling GC in Python (which

This seems to be for the `async-task` crate. My question was about `async_std::task` in particular since it doesn't have cancel-on-drop behavior.
35.
by sizediterable 5y ago
In the first `async_std::task` example, we see that `JoinHandle::cancel` is an async function. I'm curious what would you do if you didn't care whether or not the cancellation succeeded and didn't want to await the cancellati

Non-template-based code generation. So many tools depend on interpolation and concatenating strings together resulting in terrible-looking and error-prone code. What you want is an API for building and manipulating a concrete syntax tree-li

I also wonder how this might relate to "viewpoint adaptation" as defined in Pony https://tutorial.ponylang.io/reference-capabilities/arrow-ty...

This kind of reminded me of how in Rust you can split a slice type into sub-slices, except in that case you are actually allocating space for those sub-slices. This leads me to wonder if this is possible in a zero-cost way using const gener

Sorry if it's a bit sensationalized. I wanted to give some color as to why this release might be interesting and took this tweet I saw at face value https://twitter.com/rbranson/status/1455923426359578631

I'm less familiar with OCaml and don't know off the top of my head. Doing a quick search I was only able to find references to type declaration variance [0], though I learned that Java also supports use-site variance too [1] [0]

I think most languages define variance at type definition level, notable exceptions being Kotlin which supports both [0][1] and Flow. But yeah, TS doesn't support (variable-)declaration-site variance which I didn't realize you wer

I think variance can be simulated by typing the private field as an existing covariant/contravariant/invariant type class CovariantFoo<T> { private phantom!: T } class ContravariantFoo<T> { private pha

I forgot about OCaml (since I normally associate it with the more sophisticated typing stuff). I don't know if I'd completely count Go since interfaces only apply to methods, not fields

Oh cool, hadn't realized this. Also thanks for your great work! I'm rooting for some of your exploratory PRs!

From https://luau-lang.org/typecheck > Luau’s type system is structural by default I think that makes it the second (production-ready) language to have a primarily-structural type system, after TypeScript/Flow(&#x2F

I think it's not discussed enough how things like language features shape how library APIs are formed. People usually seem to only consider the question "how would I use this feature?" and not "how would the standard lib

Preferably you'd preserve the best aspect of StackOverflow; others being able to learn from others questions. I don't know what the best way to achieve that would be. Recording the sessions and making them public would probably be

I'm optimistic that this will be less painful as more of the Python ecosystem becomes async-friendly. We have `aiohttp` as a suitable replacement for `requests`, and major libraries like Django (not ORM yet), Flask, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy

Yeah, it's unclear to me whether you'd have to "join" to get the result from an operation, or if you can have some form of "await" expression
