bug VS zig

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.

There is an issue proposing this approach: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/4284

When writing code in a scripting language, sometimes you need that extra bit of performance (or maybe an async feature from Zig).

NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()

There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.

Zig also has an IRC channel on libera (#zig) that is moderated by Andrew Kelley.[1]
