   As someone who doesn't follow RISC-V too closely, how does the most modern one (either available or planned) stack up in terms of perf compared to x86/arm? Just curious when these will begin to become viable for consumer devices.

   I interpreted your question as "How does it make sense for Sourcegraph to build this as an open source thing, and not as a paid product?" which I thought was a super reasonable question. I think "Why is this open source?&quot

   Definitely want to enable this use case better. I think it will be quite easy to have a "you're viewing your project, you search for a function named 'curl fetch' and it turns up both the Python and C++ method named that

   Fair question! I want to say really, the goal is just to find a way to make an actually useful library documentation tool like this that people enjoy using. Myself, Beyang (CTO), and Quinn (CEO) have all wanted something like this for a whi

   This was probably it.. luckily, it seems like it may have been a good samaritan from HN, they reached out to me just now. People here rock :)

   ..huh, yep, you're right. That's.. super embarrassing and huge screw up on my part, uhg. I was 100% positive I submitted the order through Namecheap before pushing the repo up to GitHub for this exact reason , and that it went th

   Since `doctree` will be a static Go binary you can run locally, the idea is to have a "get docs straight in the terminal" via the CLI in the future. But probably a little ways away from that since we're just a week into it!

   To be clear, we do own the domain. It was registered about ~7 days ago. It's just not deployed yet.

    Ha! Long time no see :) I'm no Elm expert, but I would say from what I've seen that mixing-and-matching (JS+Elm, CSS+Elm) as you see fit is totally fine, adopting Elm can be super incremental. When it comes to changing CSS dynamic

    That's right, it streams every search result match back to your browser and the Elm code on the frontend then calculates the stats live. So the reason they bounce around is because new results are streaming in, and it's updating t

    Super excited for Zig to make low-level coding more accessible to people outside the usual group of lifelong C hackers, as you said! That's one of the reasons I am betting on it. Check out https://zig.news too, it's wh

    I think the key difference in most people's eyes is: am I interacting with this mostly through code (framework), or is there a substantial amount of graphical tooling that aids me (engine)? I'd say Bevy today is more akin to a fra

    I'm super productive in Zig, I really like the language. Documentation is lacking, so you're going to be reading the stdlib code. There are bugs. The current focus is on building the new stage2 compiler (going from C++ -> Zig i

    Yes. I don't think we need more frameworks, there are already great options there. The interesting thing to work on in this space is tooling, so that's where we're headed: full game engine.

    raylib is awesome and a great source of inspiration for me. It's definitely way more complete & comprehensive today than Mach is, too. Longer term, I think you'll find raylib to be better for simpler applications, and Mach loo

    I don't like Wasmer one bit, seems like an aggressive startup with a shady business model that is ultimately bad for the WASM ecosystem. It's possible what you say is true, but, how could anyone judge the validity of such an alleg
