Yes, it's a curious coincidence that the people writing this report, surely in good faith, just happened to pick March 2020 as the point of comparison.

Corporal punishment, hopefully.
Facebook famously has dual-class shares that give Mark Zuckerberg a majority of the votes. The shareholders can't make him do anything he doesn't want to do.
Why would languages without tail recursion optimisation perform worse when all languages use the naive implementation? It's not tail recursive, so it shouldn't make a difference, right?

You're right, of course. I blame low blood sugar.

match also lets you destructure values, which is useful when you're dealing with enums. It also doesn't have C's fall-through behaviour. Edit: match doesn't insist on a default clause, it enforces exhaustiveness. Which…
House is basically a modern interpretation of Sherlock Holmes, with the same unpleasant personality. Which seems to contradict the idea that jerk protagonists are a new phenomenon.
Don't worry about it. This was back in December, so there is no point digging it up now. I just needed to vent.

I've used mio and I also have nothing but praise for it, but it is a fairly thin abstraction over epoll/kqueue. That's certainly useful, but it's not nearly as nice or easy to use as the green threads that haskell gives…

transmute is marked as unsafe, so it can only be used in unsafe blocks or functions.
iPhone notifications, as far as I know.
