Steve - did you read the FAQ? They really don't know what direction to go. At least Swift stuck with ARC, being a necessity as they were tasked with merging Swift with the Objective-C runtime for interoperability.…
Go is unsuitable as a replacement for C because it is garbage collected. End of discussion. Rust is unsuitable as a replacement for C because its memory management is poorly thought out (ie. its a joke). Here's the…
For the simple case with a single iterator, yes the C-style for loop isn't as concise. However, there are lots of real-world situations where there is not a single iterator (e.g. looping through 2 arrays). Having to go…
The removal of prefix and postfix ++ and -- operators and the removal of C-style for loops are mistakes, IMO.
It's called socialism folks. Government ownership of the means of production. Full stop.
