Here's (admittedly weak) evidence: calling for actions that lead to bank runs. It's hard to take defense of startups seriously where startups are blatantly going to screw others over for their own sake. Do I get it? Yes. But it&#x

Should it though? If it's natural market forces then we have one of two solutions: * Raise prices to reduce demand until supply can meet demand * Randomly decide who can buy eggs because any eggs in the store at the lower price point w

It still is a simple, easy to learn language. But now if you want to do more complex things with it (async), you can. Of course, that means that it doesn't fit in that niche - it fills it and then some.

It's worth noting that safe Rust prevents two things. Please be patient with this explanation, as I'm about to butcher it badly (probably not using the right terms): 1) UB - this is when code is invoked. Basically memory mismanage

I am curious to what you choose language wise though. I currently go with Rust, but I'd be interested in other languages that meet most of your list and compile faster.

Hey, congrats. I have a similar setup, except using react. And I'm torn about styles. I've inlined some and done plain css for others. Though it's still just plain tsx to esbuild. I've loved it. You can add timestamps to

There are a few crates that abstract the unsafe setup you need for a self referential struct, but I'm not sure which or their status. And they might employ "Pin" for their abstraction, I'm not sure. Pin is basically a wr

I rarely if ever use the question mark with 'Option' when working with rust, and it's been just fine. I do use it a lot with Result though. But if you have any question about the return type you could[1] just look at the retu

And they did that for a while; my understanding is that letting the rust language team didn't stop that, but that's mostly a guess.

Does gumroad actually have good audio book management? Is it intending to take on position itself as an audible competitor? I'm not very familiar with Gumroad but it strikes me as a glorified shop and not a good media manager.
