Is that (#2) defined behaviour, or is it undefined? Because iirc, other languages disallow it for similar reasons.

Of course they do. But as long as the standard libraries restrain them selves, the culture of the language shouldn't go overboard (I hope).

People who complain about it have never lived in miserable weather. From what i've experienced, its actually rather nice and varied. Live up north, or even further up both then you'll get to experience miserable weather.

I'm pretty sure thats what they've always done, at least for the time they've used LLVM.

It came from multiple companies collaborating to create it.

You mean like GPLv3 does? GPL is hardly the be-all and end-all of freedoms, its just trades some freedoms for others.

I know the colloquy icon on iOS is a megaphone.

Just rest your hand on it is the best advice i can give. The palm detection works really well.

Arc, which is a dialect of lisp.

And Objective-C isn't really strongly typed either, so you can send anything any message.

Its native on OSX, is it not?

He did say that it wasn't A major Apple focus until last year, when they actually got together and did all the end work.

I can't check it, but i presume you can do something like Rust and redefine immutable variables.

Thanks.

Could you post the message (or thread) somewhere? I think that post is paywalled.

Well, Chris Lattner is involved at the very least, which is a good sign.

Seems a lot more like a call back to the Smalltalk roots of Objective-C.

BTs upto 80, for this new network. 24 is for the old network.

The only subsidiary Apple has is Filemaker, and its very very hands off, so I imagine they're going to strip off anything of value and dump the rest.

In my experience, you can bundle the dependancies, and then add the path to your search path.

Not the best approach, but it does work.

Obviously, the easy answer is that theres somehow something that lets you record data in those components. On the other hand, you have to consider that perhaps those are components that they've known other groups (them selves included) to use to store data, so they want to ensure that they're destroyed. Perhaps they dont want any inadvertent leaks of the data to a third party?

Theres no real pressure here at the moment, so they won't do it in any hurry. Its not like theres a massive growth in houses being built.

I'd hardly say it's difficult to upgrade, they've been rolling out network upgrades for the last decade, starting with the 21cn network, then fttc and persumably ftth as an eventual goal.

On the topic of 5, my view on this has always been that military investment is the governments R&D investment. So I'm not convinced that the military is a worthless investment.

You're oth saying the same thing for the most part, I dont think he's trying to imply that its their focus, just that its important enough to optimise specifically.

Well you can't really assume people have anything setup properly, so i can understand why they're doing it.

How on earth can you make such absurd statements without the smallest shred of evidence? I'm not interested in arguing with you, but unsubstantiated claims are worse than useless.

I would argue that yes, it does. The examples I've seen of the change have become a mess of letters and i'm not too fond of it.

Whats wrong with the () -> {} syntax? Its nice and simple, and scales down well, so a -> a.b()

I'vea heard that its on the cards for 9/10, isn't it? (reified generics)
