Another "IDE" written in some sort ofJavascript? Yeah, good luck with performance.

TIL Scheme is the only language that implements continuations.

Rust is not a C++ replacement, nor a C replacement. It targets its own niche (embedded, realtime, correctness-oriented). It's a totally different development culture. Zig, OTOH, is absolutely a C replacement.

Gentoo does.

There are whole different ways of life. For example, before the abundance of oxygen on Earth, the first bacteria lived on sulphur-based biochemistry. It was slow and inefficient, but better than being poisoned by that oxygen plague! Remember that it's an extremely destructive oxidizing agent (even in us it causes aging etc). It actually took millions of years for living organisms to start breathing oxygen (which was the real new and exciting breakthrough of the time).

My compiler only supports C11, how do you compile C major?

Both of those things were hoaxes by the Democrats. Pathetic power struggles to distract the public's eye from the real problems that ordinary people face. Who cares if some Russian hackers got some access to the DNC servers? That didn't affect the actual election results, not one whit.

LBYL can easily be enforced by Maybe types, leaving exceptions for really exceptional things (which a nonexisting file definitely isn't). So we see how not having a real type system hurts and deforms a language in ways unrelated to types.

Yet millions of people love what Trump does. And the celebrities that pledged to leave USA if he got elected somehow didn't follow on their promises. The real problem is that the country is polarized now, and neither side will accept the result of election -
any
result. And who is responsible for this polarization? Democrats and their affiliated media are. They are the ones who couldn't respect Trump's presidency and preferred to destroy the social fabric to get the power back.

Flamewars are fun, you're not. Humans are fundamentally emotional beings.

I think it's the dreams of possible job heaven. With an esoteric language that can be used for finance, you can not only grow your mental gonads ("it's even smarter than Haskell!!") but also possibly get a six-figure job that will be very secure.

Sorry, I don't need your permission. And I'm not being mean, I'm calling out a crappy idea for what it is. If more people did it, the authors of that language and people like them would stop wasting their time making stuff that is a bad idea from the get-go. I'm only providing valuable feedback.
