I certainly wouldn't imply that it is! I think the read that you and some others are getting out of my post is that "the Western tradition is bad", which wasn't the intention - I repeatedly praised the works, after all!

Which "slavers" are you referring to? Almost all of the American Founding Fathers owned slaves, and they were of course very familiar with the tradition of liberal thought. I can't speak for Hitler's knowledge of the Gre

A former partner of mine was a St. John's alum (and champion), so I heard a lot about and thought a lot about their undergraduate program. Of course this is a wonderful list of brilliant works. I don't know if reading nothing but

The point of having a system-defined NULL dereference (or whatever else is UB) is predictability both at compile-time and at run-time - given a particular system and a piece of high-level code, you can infer roughly what the compiled low-le

Health care in Canada is a responsibility of the provinces, so the guy in Ottawa is to some extent irrelevant. Although in BC we've had an NDP government for five years and it's not like things are doing so hot.

The simple sad reality is that Apple's attention to detail was difficult-but-doable...in 1984, on lower resolution screens, in monochrome, on computers that did substantially less, when riding high off Apple ][ money, with radical visi

No, that's not the case. The term "class" here isn't being used to describe OOP classes. You can read the article for more details, but "class" here is being used to describe something like a dynamically distin

TBH I actually think the documentation for Idris is quite good, but your overall point is correct: it's definitely somewhere between "academic toy" and "serious language". It's not really usable for anything re

Out-of-order execution is a feature of the microarchitecture, not the ISA. That is, RISC-V is an instruction set - it defines the language you use to describe work to the processor. Any given RISC-V processor needs to understand that langua

If I'm reading OP right, their issue with Rust is the borrow checker - none of those features require one. They're asking for a language that's safer than C, not as safe as Rust, but simpler and easier to ram things through.
