It's not whataboutism, it's pointing out that Microsoft is not the only actor using such tactics. Everyone should be treated the same.

Really? What does Google deserve when it nags me about switching to chrome whenever I use any of their pages from a browser that's not chrome?

So for I while I've been fascinated with sorting networks because some of them are SIMD-friendly, and also how'd they perform against "traditional" sorting algorithms. The code linked to is an experiment in both evaluati

Someone would disagree (though in context of C++): http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2018/p136... Perhaps it's easier to address the problems in a managed environment and

I like the article, though... the problems it illustrates with effects are usually solved by DI/IoC containers. It even says so: > Effect handlers let us decouple the program logic from its concrete effect implementations without to

The QueueProcessor example could have been written using channels, which expose async APIs. Otherwise, as others have commented, I despise how async/await is "95% done". The remaining 5% will come to bite haunt you and the do

Not if you have user-defined value types (soon coming to Java).

That'd be cool. It just occurred to me that I could probably do the same with attributes and DynamicProxy for C#. And also implement additional checks like "IF X is thrown, its properties must satisfiy some constraints.". (I

It has nothing to do with "exceptionality". It has to do with the method not being able to fulfill its contract. Rust's returning `Result<>` is a _different contract_.

I did in the original post, and that's why I used C++ as example instead of Java. A method declares `throws X, Y, Z` and _runtime_ checks that no other exception escapes. No source changes needed if you add W to the list. And if some o

Yes. What I'm thinking of are _not_ checked exceptions, at least not at compile-time.
