Any details on when this happens?

For the same reason we don't commute on horses anymore.

And safety.

ZGC? It should be on par or better than Go.

I have the same feeling, and my best guess is that it's the intentional (and imo arbitrary) friction that has been sprinkled into the language. And camelCase.

parent said free, not open source. I want Mojo to succeed, but I'm also doubtful of the business model.

more like old school lib vs "new left"

I'm not and I'm glad the core team doesn't have to maintain an http server and can spend time on the low level features I chose Rust for.

This is wild, thank you for sharing. An I agree with you, something this heavy in the year 19 seven zero was probably out of another universe.

poor displays, trackpads, cooling, performance, and battery life.

Linux is great, my issue is laptop hardware.

So they want to show the government's markup but not their own?

I agree that it makes some things easier (at the expense of managing constructors/destructors), I'm disputing the blanket assertion that it's superior to manual management, in the context of Jai (and Odin). You're also introducing a reference count, but that's besides the point.

In Jai/Odin, every scope has default global and temp allocators, there's nothing stopping you from transferring ownership and/or passing pointers down the callstack. Then you either free in the last scope where the pointer lives or you pick a natural lifetime near the top of the callstack, defer clear temp there, and forget about it.

I got that, but the I don't see what the example of move semantics has to do with RAII or defer.

Zig comes with a mountain of friction and ceremony, imo. It does a lot of things well, but for game dev I'd take Jai or Odin every time.

I don't get the point, what does this have to do with defer?

Faster than LuaJIT's interpreter, not the compiled code.

The language looks great but I can't get over the "type first" declaration syntax.

because the constituencies have been largely reversed.

that's a constant assignment, completely different. And you're not going to see it 100s of times in a project.

It would not go unnoticed and would pretty much guarantee invasion.

And hiding the mouse cursor so you can actually see what you're editing.

Does the mouse cursor still not hide while typing in Zed?

Same. I also configured my editor not to show LSP diag unless I save. Something you can't do in Zed.

And they refer to themselves in the third person, with a hero arc. It even has the gpt sections.

I wanted to like Zed but tying buffers to tabs is a deal breaker for me. They have really good vim motion support but don't let you view any buffer in any pane.

> It seems to be mostly Rust FUD wrapped in a screed against RAII, implying that somehow Rust will harm the kernel, maybe

Very interesting observation, I think you might be right.

The window management looks great but going back to mouse-driven input is a non starter for me. Anvil with vim motions would be interesting.

Good, they didn't when I was in sales at AWS (well before Covid).
