I am pretty sure I understood quite well. > Well, go for it, fork and "provide support" to the hardware hostile to non-stock OS, be a hero :)

I didn't insinuate hostility of every vendor except Google.

smartphones aside pixel like Fairphone do explicitly allow alternative OS, definitely cannot pretend they are hostile

extra code meaning the drop implementation or something else?

by tcfhgj 2mo ago
Why not though? Have a boxed object have implemented drop, then when the box leaves some scope the Box will clean up it's stuff (drop implementation if there is any) and deallocate it's memory using the allocator (which the arena

why shouldn't they? humanity consumes more resources than is sustainable, and systems languages can help to reduce resource consumption.

JavaScript is way more ubiquitous thanks to Electron, which is not so great for the end users. I have little experience, but I somehow doubt that Python will improve a lot regarding resource usage compared to Electron... but great if it wor

Interesting, I have no use of bots in my messenger at all. What does the Telegram Bot api have, what Matrixes API doesn't have?

Haven't threads been one of the reason some core util got faster?

call me out if I am wrong, but isn't history dependent on the server of the chatroom creator, and doesn't every server have different history settings and does it not handle encrypted messages fully?

Still some people don't block ads and people pay for it. Simple as that.

on the other hand it is trivial to project goroutines onto Rust-tokio async/await: function func() -> async fn func() go func -> tokio::task::spawn(func) func() -> func().await func_blocking() -> tokio::task::spawn_blocking

by tcfhgj 2mo ago
how would one be executed when the function is explicitly waiting? also it's an example to demonstrate the differences of async implementations of languages, not a excerpt of a production code base
27.
by tcfhgj 2mo ago
nothing is optimized away, it's just not executed - e.g. the program including semantics of the language is just designed such that it is not executed. e.g. for Rust/tokio printing B is skipped, because the process exits and cance

by tcfhgj 2mo ago
100% sure - Java just has to store and process more than a simple state machine, also if all threads are busy with compute bound work, async work is stalled if you don't put the compute bound work on adedicated thread (pool)
30.
by tcfhgj 2mo ago
they are still more expensive than compiled async await, also mixing compute and io-bound work can cause issues
