Support for unsafe constructs is almost critical to a languages success. There are certain things that just cannot be done safely, and any language that wants to be considered a systems language needs some method of…
Slow is relative. On my machine I can compile all of Chromium in ~15 minutes. I am one hugely impatient person when it comes to compile times, so I watch things closely. But just like anything else given enough time,…
I would choose C++ because the tooling is superb, talent is widely available, it is performant, there are libraries for pretty much everything, and it's a great language. Oh and by the way, LLVM is 100% c++. Saying it…
Excellent explanation! Couldn't have said it better myself.
I don't understand your claim that C++ is dying. Do you have data to back this up?
Normal people? Exactly what is a normal person there, Einstein.
I know there used to be several .net groups in the area. Consider learning an environment that has local exposure. That may be the case with python, but I don't python. Also, if you're going in to CS, why bother with…
Iirc AGPL states that basically you must make the source to your entire application available to users, both the client and server side. I believe many misinterpret this to mean your entire application must be open…
The Raspberry Pi 2 port is not complete, but it is well on its way (props to benpye who did the bulk of the work.) The FreeBSD port is a community effort as well.
