According to ChatGPT, the CobaltC language specification does now (since the spec was recently updated with an errata) provide sufficient syntactic, structural, and semantic boundaries to begin high-level compiler implementation planning, despite intentionally leaving lower-level mechanical decisions to the developer.

Yes, but remember is the last appendix to a book, and book provides the context for this appendix. So yes, in that sense, it's just another one attempting to address the memory-safety issues of C. At least this one uses C like syntax and doesn't require C programmers to learn some alien syntax. Of course, this is just a spec, Rust is well and truly live in the environment. The book is more interesting than the spec.

alert, inform, notify, announce ..... that's what HN does.

How about refocusing your attention on the actual matter at hand.

That is, Linus calling out Kees for being actively malicous.

Personally, I would have contacted Konstantin privately to lock (at least temporarily) Kees account. Then I would have sought an explanation from Kees (on the mailing list), and waited for his response. And I would have done this before calling him out as being guilty of active maliciousness.

Of course Linus love drama (especially drama that he creates.).

I think the HN title was completely appropriate.

Linus was not jusy yelling - (i.e.): "You seem to have actively maliciously modified your tree completely." - Linus Torvalds.

Linus didn't even use the word 'potentially' - yet the HN title did.

So get off the back of the person who created the HN alert!

openD (a fork of the D programming language) makes class private members inside a module a reality for programmers. In the meantime, the D programming lanaguage forum bans any further discussion of private(this).

Members of the D programming language spend 14 weeks searching for the elusive 'self'. Did they all find it though? And what about the 'non-self'? Did they go looking for that as well?
