Different design goals, go ships with a runtime baked in, rust wanted an async design independent of runtime implementation that’d be usable in embedded contexts

Paying dividends to shareholders used to be a thing

At the very least _big_ tractor (John Deere) is a net drain on society

“Penny wise but pound foolish”?

I guess I'm an LLM then. I've been referring to the structure of types as "shape" for more than a decade and so have plenty of others

There's a reason Where 2 -> Google Maps happened in Sydney. The sheer number of one-way roads combined with the imposition of the harbour and the messy tunnel system make internalising Sydney navigation a life-long endeavour

Cloudflare are neck deep in v8 as their js runtime of choice. I doubt they'll be looking for another any time soon

The cloud is just someone else’s on-prem

They're based in Collingwood, any Australian would tell you that an n year Haskel rewrite is the most normal thing about them

Not op, but in my case a lifetime of colourblindness has desensitised me to colour as an indicator.

I have my editor configured with zero highlighting for keywords and syntactic elements. Admittedly, I have compilation/lint/syntax/type check errors set to invert the erroneous block, black background white text.

Syntax and keyword highlighting is just noise given I’ve been trained by decades of colourblind unfriendly interfaces

The average quality of software can only trend down so far before real world problems start manifesting, even outside of businesses with a hard requirement on "software superiority"
