You are using Google dns servers and you are saying you have "control over the privacy issue involved in using a public DNS server" ?

Just to be clear: multi-core already works with racket places(basically running a separate racket vm thread) :). Chez-scheme has a pthread-style interface to OS threads, which has it's own set of problems with respect to concurrency(kn

By your logic both of the sets could be infinite and we will never find out who has the more vulnerabilities.

Have you benchmarked anything to see any difference between CE and EE or are you just going by their download page? I am super interested in meta-compilation approaches and reading a bit of literature on Rpython and Graal.

Or maybe we don't understand the field at a level where we can objectively say which tool is right for a particular problem domain.

Yeah it's much better to list a dozen tools/frameworks that you must be expert at than just making it clear about the current requirements.

This way ZOL also works on windows. Might make me switch to windows where i occasionally play windows only games.

It might as well be electron since they probably use a chromium/webkit fork to run the storeview and it's an increbile memory hog already. By going electron route atleast maintainance will be easier for them.

Wonder why meta-compilation is not more popular? There are already some frameworks available like RPython for quite some time, Truffle is relatively new.

It cheats in the sense every bot is aware of their teammates precise position and surroundings at all time. Otherwise they have reaction time added for actions.

All of these can be done in emacs/vim as well for most of languages. None of the above is modern by any standard.

Would you mind being a bit more specific than using vague language and analogy? What are all these modern development tasks?

What? WSL emulates linux syscalls and vfs, how is this a misnomer?

This is excellent. Thank you for working on this.

It's probably because implementing an emulator is highly rewarding and easy enough, hence makes it more exciting during learning a new language and NES is extremely well-documented.

Rust has lambdas, ADTs, pattern-matching and typeclasses(although not as powerful without kinds). These things alone makes a significant paradigm shift than programming in algol style languages. You can just use ARC<T> for every heap-
