Except that it is likely to be included in future versions of Fedora:

According to the official Fedora change proposal, the rewrite expands support for both bootc and rpm-ostree based systems, whereas the original Bash version was built only for rpm-ostree. Red Hat developers have submitted a proposal to ship this new Rust version in Fedora 43. According to Phoronix, while the plan still needs a final vote from the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee, it looks very likely to be approved. For current Fedora IoT users, the change promises to be a simple, seamless upgrade.

Unless you are an Uyghur.

A doctrine of Catholicism is that you need good works as well as faith in order to get into Heaven. When Martin Luther broke away and started the Protestant movement, one of the big changes he made was to drop the “good works” part so that faith alone is sufficient to get into Heaven. (As I understand it, the argument behind this is that Jesus saves us from all of our sins already so therefore it does not matter how good or bad we are during our lives as long as we have faith.)

And the cool thing is: not only were you able to install this 6 years ago, you were able to install it 16 years as well!

In fairness, we wouldn’t have had to do this if they had just put in monads like we had been calling for from the beginning!

The borrow checker is a lot deeper than merely making pointer use a bit safer; it provides a model for data ownership based on affine types.

Also, to the extent that “Ada requires the programmer to give enough information to the compiler so as to ensure that it actually outputs what you want it to,” if I understand you correctly, that is basically true of every language with a static type system. At the extreme end, we have dependently typed languages which essentially let you express arbitrary mathematical propositions in your types and, if the program compiles, then you know that they will always be satisfied without having to do any checks at runtime.

Does Ada have a capability as powerful as the borrow checker?

A rare instance of a violation of Betteridge’s law!

The belief that exercising one’s code is good? I am certainly all in favor of testing, to be sure!

(Sorry, I have been having some playful fun at your expense: the actual word you have been reaching for is excise, e.g., “If only I had exercised more, then I would not have developed a tumor requiring excision!”)

Ah, so it sounds like it was more about dieting than exercising.

No wonder he refused to upstream it!

I exercised all client side JavaScript from an app I maintain. It’s fast, clean, and the back button always works. I just checked on one of the more complicated pages, and according to Firefox’s memory profile, it takes about 2.6MB of RAM.

Wow, that really is a light weight! What exercise do you have your code perform to get such impressive results?

Why shouldn’t the payment processors get a say in the payments they process? Illegal or not, why should they be forced to process payments that facilitate things against their beliefs?

Because they hold an effective monopoly over the payment process.

+1 actually a shower thought

Uh, good for you?

Okay, fair enough, you got me: I wrote his name on a piece of paper and was standing on it when I wrote that comment in order to absorb his authority. You win this Internet argument.

I was definitely not standing on the authority of Elliott, merely making use of his words and crediting him for it, so you are simply wrong.

On the contrary, quoting is exactly the act of borrowing another’s idea, but doing the courtesy of giving credit to the person from whom you borrowed it.

Good writers borrow, great writers steal. -T.S. Elliot
