   You can use kubernetes to deploy rkt containers.

   I think we're seeing a shift in focus in the container world from container runtimes such as Docker, to container orchestration systems such as Kubernetes. At some point the container runtime becomes just an implementation detail. Unle

   It's pronounced "rocket".

   If it was that simple Intel would have a lot more competition. Just throwing money at the problem is not enough.

   So, you're saying we should prepare for the "Oculus shuts down" announcement?

   But banks provide credit which Bitcoin does not. Most of the problems with banks (bank failures etc) comes from the credit side, not the payments side.

   I would go one step further and say that those features in Rust (and ML, Haskell etc) aren't even metaprogramming. So D uses metaprogramming to make up for a weaker type system.

   Yes but the Rust type system cannot express monads, so they aren't monads in the type sense (they don't implement a specific Monad trait).

   Unless you are running a load balancer, static http server or in-memory key-value store. Those aren't exactly fringe use cases.

    Yep. Which also means that whatever advantages they bring, we can probably get in a traditional system call API if designed the right way. There was a highly interesting research project along these lines: https://arrakis.cs.wash

    Sure. I just mean that if you want to have that feature in your language, static typing will not prevent you. In practice almost no mainstream static language does this though.

    One of his slides says that C++ and Java is equally productive, but less productive than C. Are we supposed to believe that OO is a net negative but automatic memory management makes no difference?

    To me, the best feature of dynamically-typed languages are dynamic container objects (JS object literals, PHP arrays, Lua tables, Lisp/Scheme lists), because instead of having every single container be a purpose-built one-off abstract
