I'd love for this to get more mainstream attention! J, Futhark, Accelerate all have very neat stuff under the hood.

Also D has a gcc backend. Which is nice but it's still missing some of Rust's features.

cargo doesn't do a terribly good job of caching dependencies. Might be better than whatever C++ does though.

Having so many people move around in a pandemic could get awful. Hard to predict in any case, but if the virus gets worse the economy will get even worse.

the name seems to be a mush of Haskell and Erlang :p

Always fun to see compilers written in Haskell! And always good to see people targeting BEAM.

Lovely! Thank you to all contributors. I use your software.

Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing.

I quite like nm + ripgrep. There is a lot I don't understand about the C/Unix world (in fairness it's not all in textbooks) but this was the first step to understanding the "unix command line is my IDE" mindset whic

Containers solve a different problem.
347.
by vmchale 6y ago
containers aren't for binaries/reproducible builds. Actually they're quite bad for it and make caching hard.

by vmchale 6y ago
Some ecosystems allow you to do that, no?

> 16GB memory Nice for a laptop but I wouldn't mind 32GB+... guess that's gonna be expensive though :p

Mostly listening in to news about the looters here (Chicago). Obviously I care about the protesters/rioters but they're not who I need to watch out for.

Oh dear. My laptop is saying 10.15.4 is the latest. Huh.

Weird, I'd think you'd want 16GB at least to make it last. I've actually upgraded my desktop to 64GB when I had the need (data analysis and compilers).
