These fake-time environments let you set the time, so you can test how the code will behave in 2039 without waiting for 13 years. For Go's synctest, 1-1-2000 is just the default initial value for now().

The reason is simple: they'd like to reap all the benefits of a permissive licence (many people and companies won't or can't touch GPL code), without any of the downsides; but these downsides are the very reason behind the rules in more 'restrictive' licenses like the GPL.

This usually doesn't work, and in the end all they can do is complain about behaviours that their license choice explicitly allowed.

Go did exactly that, where Maven's 'Project group identifier' is an URL you control, e.g. github.com/<your-account> but also <your-website>/go-pkg or whatever you want. Other languages did this too. Flat namespaces are more of a Rust issue (among newer languages).

The real issue here is Rust's flat namespace. In Go, for example, there's no ffmpeg crate, there's github.com/someone/ffmpeg and gitlab.com/someone-else/ffmpeg, and so on. There's no blessed, unique 'ffmpeg' package, you can't squat names, and if the first package gets abandoned, you can fork it under a new path while keeping the 'ffmpeg' name. Only the import path changes.

64 bit mod is much slower than 32 bit mod. Your C program uses int32_t everywhere, while your Go program uses int (which is probably 64 bit on you machine); so this is not a fair comparison. Changing the Go program to use int32 everywhere makes it 35% faster on my machine.

Agree. And of course it's always something "surface level and uncontroversial", anything else gets you downvoted. Most subreddits (with a few exceptions) are huge echo-chambers.

It uses yt-dlp as the download backend, so it works with anything that yt-dlp handles.

> The worst GUI (none) out of the box.

That's funny, for me that's exactly the best GUI out of the box. I actually did some tinkering to reduce the GUI parts even more, and added more keyboard shortcuts.

Of course everything in the "Generic Programming" section is now outdated.

> and who was “she”?

The structure, probably. In gendered languages objects have a grammatical gender, and "structure" is feminine in at least French, Italian, and Spanish (they all derived from Latin "structura", which is feminine). Non-native English speakers will sometime carry over a noun's gender when writing in English.
