Why is the compiler slow in the first place? I have no rust knowledge, how slow us slow, lets say in comparison to a c compiler?

Surac··on The monopoly behind your TI graphing calculator
I Europe we can choose between Casio, HP and TI. Problem is: Calculators are build for schools, not for using them in real life. Real Calculator: enter Number -> Press sqrt -> read result. Modern gameboy calculator: enter sqrt use cursor to go to number field -> enter number -> press equal -> read result. May be nice to learn how schoolbooks are written, but very inconvinient if you have to use the calculator for real

Surac··on Rust Is Tier-1 Language at Microsoft
I remember an other 1 tier language ms once had. Anyone remember Visual-J? On the other hand if we could code in rust and get windows.forms as a ui it might make sense. MS is burning UI layer faster than one can train on

Surac··on How Swiss tables work in Go built-in map
Go has the same illness like rust. First var name then type. We had that back in basic and i hate it. Some argument it would be better if you declare more than one var in the same line. I never di that. Why cant we have nice things.

Surac··on The case against a C alternative (2022)
For me c is a common ground any feature can be build of. It is very easy to read without much knowledge and has a big base of knowledge around for decades. Anything better than c was in my opinion a WOMBAT. Waste of money brain and Time
Surac··on Stop Making TUIs
TUI is a kind of self defense. big corps create and kill gui frameworks faster that one can learn them. Browser based ui is a real waste of resources (and also evolve in a absurd pace). The Console is a last resort to write small (understandable) gui that work on many platforms.
