    - Support for generic-aware value types (struct vs. class) and low-level features like stackalloc: very valuable for high-performance scenarios and native FFI. See for instance https://github.com/ixy-languages/ixy-languages. In comparison, Java doesn't even have unsigned integers. Yes, Project Valhalla is coming someday.

    As well, debatable to some folks, but: properties (get/set); operator overloading; LINQ > Java streams; extension methods; default parameters; collection initializers; tuples; nullable reference types; a dozen smaller features

    The real reason why a tracing GC was a failure in Objective-C was due to the interoperability with the underlying C semantics, where anything goes.

    The implementation was never stable enough beyond toy examples.

    Naturally automating the Cocoa release/retain calls made more sense, given the constraints.

    In typical Apple fashion they pivoted into it, gave the algorithm a fancy name, and then in a you're holding it wrong style message, sold their plan B as the best way in the world to manage memory.

    When Swift came around, having the need to easily interop with the Objective-C ecosystem naturally meant to keep the same approach, otherwise they would need the same machinery that .NET uses (RCW/CCW) to interop with COM AddRef/Release.

    What Apple has is excellent marketing.

  • Why did you switch from another language to Rust? Do you regret not learning it earlier?
    9 projects | /r/rust | 25 Jul 2022
    Can you recommend a good example of an actual project's build-management to look at? Because looking at the gradle examples https://docs.gradle.org/current/samples/sample_building_java_applications.html and https://docs.gradle.org/current/samples/sample_building_java_applications.html or the setup guide for a numerics library https://nm.dev/wiki/tutorials/setupguide/ it sure looks terrible and is in no way comparable to rust, having more of a CMake flavor for gradle and a "no management whatsoever" flavor for the numerics thing. It also doesn't speak for java's ecosystem that for example https://github.com/ixy-languages/ixy-languages does not run on newer versions because of unsupported dependencies. That said imo "bad build system / dependency management" is not an uncommon problem / most languages have terrible systems.
