It's certainly much more complicated than Go, and not just on the surface

Hare doesn't care much about mathematical purity, and the features it does have were chosen on the basis of what is useful in systems programming. There are sum types (tagged unions), but product types (tuples) were a late addition and

> I think developers should feel a lot more responsibility in this area. I think most programmers would agree with that sentiment. Getting everyone to agree on what is "responsible" and what isn't however... Hare is a mani

It's trivial for Hare programs to interop with C. All the programmer has to do is specify the libraries they want to link to. Going the other way and calling Hare code from C is not that smooth yet, but there are plans to improve that

Fedora is often the first distro to adopt radical changes like this and then all the other distros follow and then everyone has to live with their decisions, which often turn out to be made too soon. Not looking forward to having to deal wi

Are there languages that "solve" SIMD?

The projects listed bear very little resemblance to a typical software project.

That's a very different kind of reverse engineering

By that metric you're almost always better off writing specialized code all the time and duplicating stuff around a lot. (In all languages, not just go)

It's really nice that it works so well most of the time, but I tried fixing an annoyance with the wacom kernel driver once and I gave up because that driver is a mess internally.

You just made a bunch of assumptions about what their system is and does.

A lot of countries do that at least in certain special cases.

My experience with plugging in/out is that the plugging in part is better now, but C connectors require much less force to be plugged out by themselves and I have been bitten by cables unplugging just because they were bent in the wron

It's not easy to get right and they failed which means it works on some sites but not others (they did make sure all the major hosts work though)

Are the these new techniques only applicable to WebAssembly? If so, why?

Why isn't Zig done yet then? Or Rust?

Over the past two years there have been multiple public posts on his blog about the language, you can learn a lot about it from there.

Some of the people behind go are the living example of how far you can get with a bunch of text files and a good model around them. (The answer is very far)

Yeah. Sure. And apple will let you out of the walled garden. And Google will get rid of their ad network.

Compatibility layers are cheaper if you are a company with thousands of programmers.

This title reads like they are going to put new chips into existing and already purchased computers :(

By buying ARM the owner gets control over an architecture that many describe as "the future of computing". That's much more valuable than whatever money ARM makes.
