Making it secure will take more time, and companies will not willingly waste time because it puts them behind competitors. Therefore security is a solution that can only be enforced via government regulation, and of course not all governmen

That seems like a really good design, as opposed to having an AST interpreter like I might do otherwise. But would this indeed support a "much larger set of features" than constexpr as was claimed?

> supports a much larger set of features that even constexpr supports This sounds promising. Can you give examples? I don't know Rust at all, and the reason I like C++ is its metaprogrammability.

Looks cool. One thing though, the page says > Actors are a great model for concurrent programming because they automatically prevent race conditions (thanks to atomicity and encapsulated state) and deadlocks (because execution never bloc

But "express disapproval of" is exactly the meaning intended when we say that a feature is deprecated. It signifies that it is best practice not to use it.

This assumes that the thing that should be held constant is complexity, and that the loadtimes will therefore decrease. On the contrary, loadtime itself is the thing being held (more or less) constant, and the complexity is the (increasing)

The problem is that you're biased - confirmation bias, expectation bias, selection bias, optimism bias, observer expectancy effect, the list goes on - and you end up learning all things except the truth.

I made this as a simple tool to make blog-writing easier. Let me know if the documentation is confusing or you can't make sense of it. Feedback is appreciated!

Lisp data aren't Turing complete, only a particular interpretation of them (i.e. EVAL), as you know. You're perfectly welcome to call READ on a file and you will get unevaluated lisp data back (particularly when you set READ-EVAL

If an article is written in English for an English speaking audience, I wish it would include translations of non-English quotations.

I think you're right, which saddens me. Is it not possible for a while elite male to write about the universal? "I will show you fear in a handful of dust." Who could remain unmoved by words like these, regardless of sex or c

Special cases like this make generic code very hard to write. If I'm writing a library that needs to handle user-provided data agnostic of type and I want to do a sum operation, now I have to add checks all over the place for whatever

I'm not familiar with the vim world. How different is the neovim API? Do the developers maintain two versions of their plugins?

I think seeing is pretty easy to define, it's the decoding of high-density two-dimensional information encoded in a wave. High-density differentiates it from feeling/smelling, and two-dimensional differentiates it from hearing&#x2

I don't think this is a particularly effective criticism. It's about as insightful as asking why I'm me and not you.

Ah interesting. But I imagine that token-based macros don't give you access to the types in the program being compiled do they? i.e. a c++ template can tell when two types are the same but a token level macro wouldn't be able to d

Yes. From what I understand, Rust's macros/generics are not Turing complete.

This is what I love about C++ that isn't provided by [m]any of the "modern" languages (not including Lisp). I want programs in my programs dangit!

A laughable comparison. The man who said "The only thing I know is that I know nothing" is a far cry from the man who said "I don't take any responsibility at all".

I think the skewing of results lessening your impressed-ness is the wrong takeaway. If anything, the AI is a more perfect mirror of the society it learned from than you expected. Perhaps the right way to look at it is that we are capable of
