Thank you! That is definitely an interesting language. However, it seems like development has stopped. The GitHub page says: "Note: For personal reasons, I'm on an extended break from the coding side of Vale, feel free to DM me on discord for details. - Evan Ovadia"
Excellent, that's precisely the thing I was looking for! Thank you! I see that there are some tricky issues that would have to be solved with regards to ergonomy, even with an imagined subset of Rust.
Nvidia on Linux is more like running Windows 95 from the gulag, and you're covered in ticks. I absolutely detest Nvidia because of the Linux hell they've created.
So if you take a Python program and you add the mental effort of having to deal with static types, lifetimes, the borrow checker and performance considerations, and this added mental effort actually allows you to write the program faster?
That is incredible. It's like being able to carve- and install a door from a slab of wood faster than installing a prefabricated door.
I've attended a few Rust conferences and events, and they have all been unusually politicized. There has been a very strong emphasis on how inclusive the community is, which raises some red flags. It is akin to someone repeatedly expressing how smart or funny they are... it makes you wonder why. I was waiting for something like this to happen.
It is not similar at all. Kids all over the world draw swastikas on bathroom stalls and such, just to provoke. Rarely do they get beheaded/stabbed as a consequence, though.
Swastikas are not acceptable, but very few have any strong personal feelings about it. The prophet of this ideology, however, is like a (glorified) family member to 1/4 of the world's population, and you can very easily get killed for depicting him. The most recent and well-known case was the stabbing of Salman Rushdie.
They have very large representations compared to every other major non-christian religion in european countries. Islam is also the fastest growing religion in the world, by far.
On top of that, it is the religion that gets in unproportional amount of media time in every european country due to all the problems it represents.
Wow, I had forgotten that this language even existed. Someone said that OO never clicked until they learned Smalltalk. Perhaps I should give a try, and perhaps it can improve my Python :-)
Thank you. I think you're absolutely right about JS. I would prefer to avoid dead technology, which is one of the reasons I haven't spent much time with schemes like Racket or GNU Guile.
