The average quality of the Zig projects got up.

Maybe it's the phone number of the vibe coding police?

Authors can't exaggerate? Maybe some actual numbers can convince people.

Bozhidar Batsov inspired me to try Emacs after watching him present on a VarnaConf. Now it’s my religion. Maybe I should give OCaml another chance?

What do you do now? I’m just curious.

You forgot the /s at the end.

Not a silver bullet. There are also C nodes but they’re used even less.

I asked because I do it sometimes too.

What’s up with the last paragraph? Nobody is complaining because the BEAM is good enough for the typical use case?

Came to say this. Early in my career I really thought implementing Maybe in any language is necessary but not I know better. Use the idioms and don’t try to make every language something it’s not.

Nice! I'm sad to see SegmentedList go. Also, I'm wondering if it's possible to use `recvmsg` and `sendmsg` backed by the new `Io` interface.

You got that right.

A few years back I attended a talk by one of the Netflix developers who contributed kTLS. It was very informative as he pointed the reasons why Netflix went with FreeBSD. The first question afterwards was “why not Linux”… Didn’t you listen to the talk, man…

As long as it's for C/C++ and not C or C++, I'm skeptical.

New comment by nesarkvechnep in "IPv6 is the only way forward"

Reading the comments, it looks like some people dismiss IPv6 just because they need to sit down and learn a couple of new things.

Some time ago I entertained the idea of a Terraform provider for jails. There's no API tho, but that's fixable.

It probably won’t work correctly from the get go. But it can be debugged everywhere so that’s good.
