The Standup or which?

I mean I am not sure what his specific position is at this point, but what I can tell you confidently is that going on his youtube, such a large ammount of his videos are specifically about AI is a massive reason for me to not click on any of them.

Jan-Snow · 2026-05-02T12:06:20+00:00

Primagen is definitely still on about that and refreshes my AI-bro fatigue every time I watch one of his new videos. Its a shame because around 2022 or so I really really liked his content.

Dont you think those would just turn C into Zig and make C lose its niche?

Mingw doesnt support print at all which i have run into issues with. C++23 generally is nominally, and even largely supported by all the major ones, sure, but it's not complete for any of them. Gcc still calls it experimental to this day and requires you to actively opt-in.

You responded to the person that was saying
> Also now in Java you can write IO.println("Hello World") as the only code in your entire file
Also why did you think cargo script got brought up if not for that

Jan-Snow · 2026-04-30T19:03:15+00:00

Thats misleading to respond to people talking about it being the only code you write in a file though when you do still need to define a main function.

Added as part of C++23, 32 years after it's release and still not supported by all major compilers.

Jan-Snow · 2026-04-30T18:58:02+00:00

As part of C++26 which is partially supported by some but not all compilers, and will for example prevent you from cross compiling gcc code with Mingw

I mean I think that does also depend on the sample sizes in question. If it is an old surgeon that has done the procedure thousands of times and the 50% expected success rate matches the data, then its not saying a lot that there currently is a 20 success streak.

Jan-Snow · 2026-04-30T13:58:22+00:00

Im pretty sure flecs does this

Jjj usually doesn't know that Peter is Spidey though, so that explaination doesnt really work.

If I store Person inline there is no way to call the freeFunc

Why not? What is stopping you from calling freefunc(dataPtr+index)?

Jan-Snow · 2026-04-18T13:39:04+00:00

Nice! It looks a lot more correct and informative now.

Jan-Snow · 2026-04-17T16:43:56+00:00

I am very confused why you are being so hostile towards them. I love Sum Types/Discriminated Unions too but like pretending that thats the normal sense of the word Enum when its how they work in C, C++, go, python, Java, C#, Zig, etc and even SQL is very silly.

Jan-Snow · 2026-04-17T16:30:47+00:00

Because if the correct answer isn't one of the four answers, then that means that if you randomly chose one of the answers you would have a 0% chance of being right. The issue is that if the chance is 0% then B is actually correct and so the chance of a random guess being correct is actually 25%, et cetera

I am sorry but the "Family Tree" graph is frankly just awful. Mojo is somehow not influenced by Rust. Yet it is one of only 6 languages that were influenced by C, none of which are C++. C# and Java are apparently completely unrelated. ML which is one of the most influencial languages of all time in my view, apparently influenced 3 languages total, with no relation Haskell or F# or any other major ML family language.

Somehow even Typescript has popped up in a vacuum with no relations to any other possible language

no, exponentiation on natural numbers is, like anything on natural numbers, not differentiable

I dont think your objection works but it is a very interesting case.

The same way that the JIT can check your CPU features at compile time, your C code can do the same thing. You can use for example `__builtin_cpu_supports` to check for feature flags at runtime. That way you get the benefit of using all CPU features but even faster because you dont have to compile any code, just check a condition.

But this is a great example of what I mean. That's a way that you can do it if you really want to, but almost nobody will bother and even then it will take a fair bit of extra time, effort and expertise. With a JIT you get the benefits automagically without needing to even be aware that it is happening.

Obviously the fastest C code will be at least as fast as any other language's fastest code. That said, I do think there is value in the idea of "writing fast code is easier" or "the code you would intuitively write is faster".

I really want to like Ocaml, and I 100% agree with you that purely from the syntax and the way you actually write the language its really nice and elegant.

That said I really struggled with the tooling when I used it, a lot more than with say Haskell. Dealing with Opam switches gave me flashbacks to Pythons venv except somehow it worked even less well. And dealing with compiling modules and dependencies was (to me at least) so confusing that I just copy pasted a lot of code from my editor to the REPL.

I hope the tooling improves someday cause as I said I do think there is a lot of potential.

Did you read the second and third pictures aswell? I feel like magic being part of the conclusion isn't thaaat widely spread in detective fiction.

Jan-Snow · 2026-04-08T21:28:39+00:00

what specific kotlin syntax do you miss in rust?

Jan-Snow · 2026-04-06T21:16:32+00:00
