> Go is a great example of fast compilation and strict typing IMO. I think an even better example might be OCaml. Ocaml's compilation speed (last time I checked) was on par with Go, but it provides a much nicer (IMO) type system.

Except that it's self-reported symptoms, from people who know whether or not they had COVID. Doesn't seem like especially reliable data.

I think the point is that you run the unicode validation once on your [u8] array, which gives you a &str (or String for the lossy variants). From then on, you know you have valid unicode and don't need to keep checking.

There actually were quite a lot of changes. I remember using it in 2014, and then 1.0 in 2015, and found 1.0 to be much more approachable. Also, since 2018 with non-lexical lifetimes and some nice error handling improvements, Rust now tends

Actually, I think types are erased in most typed languages, unless they support runtime reflection.

But games are loading enormous textures, meshes, maps, etc. UIs don’t need any of that.

I think the reasons green threads can work in languages is that the runtime understands the language semantics, and can take advantage of them. The OS doesn't understand the language and its concurrency semantics, and only has a blob o

I can see you having objections to their arguments against async/await, but what makes you say async/await is somehow the better solution?

It's not about bundling software with the OS, but _preventing other pieces of software from being installed_. iOS disallows alternative browser engines. When you install Chrome or Firefox on iOS, it's just a wrapper around the Saf

Hopefully we'll get modular implicits some day, which should help with the typeclass envy ;)

Isn't link tracking orthogonal to IMAP? If you don't follow the links/load remote images/etc. on the client, then tracking doesn't occur. Unless I'm missing something?

I suspect something we're eating more of now (seed oils, chemicals in processed foods, something else?) is causing us to store more fat that we otherwise would have. i.e. we seem to store all excess calories as fat, but maybe that&#x27
