It's clearly documented in multiple places that it's unbuffered (fs docs, io docs) What's magical here? Rust makes it there's no need for magic. Most things like these are designed to compose. Here it's no different

What is the forest here (asking genuinely)? Language usage ergonomics? I think it's fine like this, because most of the time the language makes it easy to wrap/convert a writer into a buffered writer and use that instead. Also, it

In my experience, the most ergonomic implementation is rarely the most performant one in C++, you usually end up having to use some SFINAE monstrosity or sprinkle constexpr if all over the place. std::optional comes specifically to mind as

I have a very similar origin story! I worked for tech support for a large we host company... And all I can say is that I think tech support at web hosting companies is a bit... different from normal tech support. I've had a few friends

It's not just about messaging. Although, I'm not sure I agree or disagree about your idea of message ownership, or lack of it; I've got mixed feelings about it. I think it also comes down to wanting to own the "distribut

The leaving and joining channels is an interesting idea. I guess that kinda simulates Zulip's topics/threads feature to a degree. I guess that wouldn't have been too horrendous to do. I kinda do this with Mattermost, but I al

I have no idea what makes people use Slack. We demoed it at our company, and most people hated it. I guess it's one of those things people start using when there's a handful of employees and then they just get stuck with it. The w

Keep up the good work! I love interactive learning as a concept, and I think you're already most of the way there. Most of my complaint was more design related than lesson related. I realised later that I can jump to lessons, so I skim

I completely agree that being able to navigate an ecosystem's complexity is a skill. I didn't mean to imply that other languages don't have complexities. All ecosystems come with their own boons and complexity issues (hidden

I went on a rant, but didn't mean to. I don't have anything against PHP, it's got a valuable and relevant place on the the web. It's important to many people, and like you said you find it fun, which I think is important

I used to believe this, but... But that's just not true. All the things you mentioned are a yum/apt/nix/pacman/ install away on Linux, and probably as simple to install on macOS. I'm sure Windows has installers

I don't see how that makes the development cycle any better. I can just edit a file, press save, and it compiles and tests run automatically. If I'm doing something in interpreted languages, the code updates in memory. Furthermore

This kinda hits home for me. I used to enjoy video games a lot before. Now I play them in autopilot mode. Just enough engagement to ward the brain demons. It's not so much an enjoyment as it is a reprieve from myself. I still enjoy the

I agree with you, but also want to add that there doesn't need to be that much caution either. Plain language helps create or deepen someones understanding of the core idea (or even an "intuition" for it, afte they become com

It's still concurrency in Node, since there's no threads in JS. There's the `worker_threads` (never used it though) which is like web workers in a browsers, but those work by posting messages to eachother.

You probably need Arc<> in the context of async, but if it's a normal closure, Rc<> will do. However, that's not needed always. You largely wanna move stuff into closures in my experience, since the closure ends up own

I wasn't sure if it's a language issue at first myself (I'm still not completely sure), but based on their replies it seems like it's just a fruitless smear quest because they don't like something about Rust.

You're feeding a troll that's managed to derail the point/conversation with an incoherent offtopic comment... I really doubt they care what you or anyone has to say to them (which is evident from their replies). Their comment

Not OP, but there's also "crafting interpreters". In the second half of the book you emit bytecode for whatever language you designed in the first half, and also implement a VM for said bytecode.

Ah the bytecode generation via Reflection.Emit seems like a really powerful feature. Does it feel "brittle" to use, or is it expressive enough to aid writing more robust code (to a degree, I realise it's not possible to alimi
