Of course Russia's ex-space boss doubts US set foot on the Moon

Re: Saying the US can't do it now?

The point is it's prior knowledge, so it should take one rocket, fuel and some astronauts. 54 years on, with the technology and resources we have it should be childs' play, a walk in the park, piece of cake. Why then isn't the US raising the flag on the moon at least once a year every 4th of July? Because Brandon, Bama, Billary and the Bush'es are incapable and when you had the golden orange opportunity you wasted it on fake news and racist riots to put back the lawyer class in charge of not landing on the moon.

Modular finds its Mojo, a Python superset with C-level speed

Re: FALSE

So you're downvoting my sound advice to use the language that runs every device, operating system, library or program that has any impact in this world to promote Sappeur... another language that nobody heard of and that will never ever be useful in any real sense. Sappeur is now my new joke like Ocaml, Bosque, Go, Erlang, Julia, Haskell, Smalltalk, Lisp, Zig, Crab and all the other junk languages to throw at my friends for a laugh...! Does it support multiple inheritance, polymorphism, lambdas, template metaprogramming and R-value references? That would be great, for sure. Can't wait to try it, because with such useful features C will be obsolete by Christmas, no doubt.

Ho hum...

Just learn real programming in C and ditch all those meaningless toy languages that will never compete in real world performance, scalability and maintainability.

Check out Codon: A Python compiler if you have a need for C/C++ speed

How much effort...

...are people going to put into not learning C? This is getting ridiculous. Keep trying, lamers.

Basecamp details 'obscene' $3.2 million bill that caused it to quit the cloud

A company I work with paid about $300 a month just to store around 4TB of data, and downloading that data (for local backup) cost nearly $4,000 IIRC. Whatever the exact numbers, the cost was eyewatering. People just don't realize they're being royally scammed.

Heresy: Hare programming language an alternative to C

Idiots have good reason to avoid C

What pitfalls?

Faster Python: Mark Shannon, author of newly endorsed plan, speaks to The Register

Re: Screw it...

Guess what, I do that in C and it takes no longer and can actually be used in real software after tweaking and customizing.

Re: It's talking about total time spent

Learning C is time well spent. Learning python means investing a lot of time in a language that can never perform and doesn't scale. The perceived 'savings' quickly vaporize when you discover that use case only exists because your data is poorly structured and your project is poorly planned.

Latest patches show Rust for Linux project making great strides towards the kernel

Another dimension of complexity

Doubling the numbers of languages used does not double safety. Since when did any modern language live up to the hype? Sticking with plain old C is the safest bet, and the Rust community can make their own OS to compete with BeOS for least memorable effort to outclass C as systems programming language.

Do you think Bill wants to do some philandering on his own, or is Belinda longing for Megahard ?

Rust code in Linux kernel looks more likely as language team lead promises support

Re: Is there a reason we need YAPL?

How about the Rust community start producing feature rich long standing quality performant applications for Linux first, instead of trying to nag their YAPL into the kernel. Also, we already had an OOOS. Remember that one, BeOS? Why not convert that into YAPL, or better yet write your own Rustix?

Until real substantial quality stuff start emerging out of the Rust community I don't want to hear about it. Nothing yet came close to C in terms of performance, simplicity and longevity. I'll be surprised if that ever changes.
