The real world is always more complicated, since cps carries stack in its arguments.

Sure, I do hope we can focus on one concurrency primitive, but the possibility that we may have async/await and coroutine at the same time seems kind of unfortunate to me.

Sadly Vala is not safe, which is an essential defect for a high-level language, and It seems to be impossible to get wide adoption outside gnome world. Lack of inheritance is a shortage of Rust, but maybe we can have a kind of React-like GU

My initial motivation of following Rust is because it is the only language that can integrate into and extend the traditional Linux C world seamlessly except C++, which is generally hated by the open source culture. Glad to see the initial

Simply comparing M:N threading with futures is not correct. In my experience using futures in Javascript, it does not support control flow at all. The goroutine's equivalent is async/await, which transform the cps of asynchronous

As a gentoo user I would say that the ABI break may still worth it if it can enable a lot of application continuing to work with just a recompile, right? The controversial around this plan origins from people's inability to understand

I used to upgrade my Qt 4.x with none issue. For a fundamental library like this devs should at least keep core api stable for a long time, and release unstable components seperately. As I have stated, I really don't like a large numbe

There is no guarantee that the good software you are using have someone maintaining it or interested in porting it, which is really common in open source word. For me they are Texmacs which only have bug fixes nowadays and a bunch of browse

I already have gtk2, gtk3, qt4, qt5 installed on my linux machine, the situation which I really hope to get rid of. And now GNOME devs hope user to install gtk2, gtk3, gkt4, gkt5, gtk6 at the same time to solve imcompatibility. Nice try.
