Befunge VS bug

1. C compilers don't do a good job, & thus even CPython, which has historically stuck to rather vanilla C, uses computed goto, as described in https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2012/07/12/computed-goto-for-e...

I resorted to similar techniques in optimizing Befunge: https://github.com/serprex/Befunge (See bejit.c & marsh.c/marsh.h)

2. Rust enums are not variable sized, think of them as tagged C unions, where the Rust compiler can sometimes apply tricks to make Option> the same size as Vec

3. match can specialize for straight forward cases, when in doubt use https://godbolt.org

I've found async to be straight forward anytime I've used it. Promise#then is equivalent to callbacks

async/await often requires very little changes compared to synchronous code, whereas reworking a program into callbacks is much more impactful. & the async/await compilation process tends to produce better performance in addition to this. My first async/await work was a few years ago to increase a data importer's performance by an order of magnitude compared to the blocking code

Here's an example where looping made for a callback that recursively called, using async/await I get to use a plain loop:

before: https://github.com/serprex/Befunge/blob/946ea0024c4d87a1b75d...

after: https://github.com/serprex/Befunge/blob/9677ddddb7a26b7a17dd...

I don't see why people find it so complicated to separate begin-compute & wait-on-compute

I've since rewritten a nodejs game server into rust, https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/tree/master/src/rs/server... handleget/handlews are quite straight forward

You'll also find them used in CPython's ceval.c

I use them in both my C befunge implementations:

Thank you for sharing!

It looks like the Scala project found allowing protected[this] fields as an escape hatch for variance to be unsound:

Going to have to chew on that and what it means for the same feature in Sorbet…

Thanks again for bringing this up!

I have a new windows 10 and downloaded the Coursier installer from scala-lang.org, the https://docs.scala-lang.org/getting-started/index.html says that you should have either java8 or java11 installed but most tutorials online and posts says to install latest version of java, which java jdk version should I install or does Coursier install it for me or do I choose the latest jdk (java-jdk-19)?

Scala

All of those dependencies are Java dependencies, not Scala libraries, except for one, and it's a known problem that is to some extent solved already and should be fully solved very soon. https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/12632

I had met the core developers, we had discussing a lot about which technology would better address our demand and, after many considerations, we had chosen Scala.

i like scala. it combines object-oriented and functional programming into one high-level language, which makes it fun to learn. i don't know if it is popular in the robotics industry, but it runs on the jvm and can be combined with java, so there is that. i recommend the book "programming scala".

See https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/12491 for info and workarounds. A fix will land in Scala 2.13.8.
