codex cli. I switched, no regrets. Also, $20 for top model vs being limited to sonnet.

> the compiler can now allocate the backing store for slices on the stack in more situations

Any details on when this happens?

For the same reason we don't commute on horses anymore.

And safety.

ZGC? It should be on par or better than Go.

I have the same feeling, and my best guess is that it's the intentional (and imo arbitrary) friction that has been sprinkled into the language. And camelCase.

parent said free, not open source. I want Mojo to succeed, but I'm also doubtful of the business model.

> I mean, in 2025, not having crypto in stdlib when every man and his dog is using crypto ? Or http when every man and his dog are calling REST APIs ?

I'm not and I'm glad the core team doesn't have to maintain an http server and can spend time on the low level features I chose Rust for.

This is wild, thank you for sharing. An I agree with you, something this heavy in the year 19 seven zero was probably out of another universe.

I agree that it makes some things easier (at the expense of managing constructors/destructors), I'm disputing the blanket assertion that it's superior to manual management, in the context of Jai (and Odin). You're also introducing a reference count, but that's besides the point.

In Jai/Odin, every scope has default global and temp allocators, there's nothing stopping you from transferring ownership and/or passing pointers down the callstack. Then you either free in the last scope where the pointer lives or you pick a natural lifetime near the top of the callstack, defer clear temp there, and forget about it.

I got that, but the I don't see what the example of move semantics has to do with RAII or defer.
