Harder than C?

Looks like it wasn't even a bug, just a missed opportunity to use SIMD.

Oh, I thought by "already" you meant right now. I would expect that you can use any Wayland-compatible compositor once their Wayland support is complete, yeah.

Not sure about Steam.

No; Wayland is also a protocol, and Niri relies on that protocol, so Niri doesn't bypass the need for Wayland support.

Do you have a different recommendation for how to display unnameable types in error messages? I'm sure the compiler team would consider any suggestions.

This is hilarious. I'm not sure how often anyone would actually need to verbalize arbitrary binary data, but I do see an advantage over base64 since the English letter names are so often phonetically similar.

"Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point"

Right, but their endorsement is still likely to do more harm than good in terms of public perception of the law, I think.

Well, that's fair; first-class support for running an actual Linux kernel, with the containerization support that implies, is one of the reasons I prefer Windows with WSL as a dev environment when using Docker (at least, in companies where the IT team won't just let you run native Linux).

MacOS and docker is asking for trouble.

That's a real problem! MacOS and Docker are extremely common for development, and a scripting language like Python should just work with them, not just at the language level (which is good enough) but in the ecosystem and tooling. The latter is what Astral is trying to improve.

I understand having severe philosophical disagreements with the Rust project, with the majority of Rust users, or with the uutils project specifically. What I don't understand is this part:

If you go to the website of the Rust programming language nowadays, one of the first things you'll notice is that their primary communication platform is Discord. Yes, you read it right - their primary communication platform is Discord, a proprietary spyware program that is owned by a Chinese investment company and has backdoors to various other national intelligence agencies too.

Rust did have an official Discord, years ago, before switching to Zulip (alongside other official communal hubs, most prominently the Discourse forums that the author complains about next). But this was written in March and specifically says "nowadays", and I cannot find any mention of Discord on the Rust website.
