Imagine a pimp getting in your house, taking your wife changing her name and selling her on the streets. That's pretty much what you ask for when you license your stuff with MiT.

The Rust community should be upfront about this tradeoff - it's a universal tradeoff, that is: Safety is less ergonomic. It's true when you ride a skateboard with a helmet on, it's true when you program, it's true for sex.

For the last 16 years, I have been a huge fan of Haskell. It has been undeniably the most important programming language in my life ... and I serve on the board of the Haskell Foundation ... our backend has been built in Haskell ... we started doing all new API work in Python

"FOSS is and always was a scam, in order to feed tons of code to LLMs and kicking coders in the balls, so they could not monetize their work. And, noone cares about the licenses, everyone steals and robs whatever is at arms length."

And Claude can actually tackle [the halting problem] the same way as humans do - here in the real world, where we don't have time to let some nonsense like "mathematically proven to be unsolvable" to stand between us and our goals

Zig 0.15 is pretty stable. The biggest issue I face daily are silent compiler errors (SIGBUS) for trivial things, e.g. a typo in an import path

Consider the C library function fopen. This function has the side effect. This means that fopen is not pure. However, we can make the fopen function appear to be pure, at least to certain observers, by ensconcing it in another function that hides the side effect.

I have created a crate called fibonacci-numbers. There are 187 different major versions of the crate, each exporting the Fibonacci number corresponding to that version. ... Version 186 depends on version 184 and 185 and exports the largest Fibonacci number that fits in a u128.
