> The real question here is: WHY are you passing a blob of memory rather than a struct that uses the type system to describe and enforce what the contents are? I completely agree. It's particu…

> Easy, even one of the author's could not change WG14 mind towards security. Your comment conveys a hefty dose of ignorance on the topic. I recommend you read the proposal's arguments, i…

> Afaik std::span does not need anything that was not in C++98 already, or am I missing something? You're missing the fact that following C++98 it took around 13 years to get the next version …

> I understand that people can have many things to say about C++, and I do as well, but `std::span` should have been there decades ago (...) Decades is kind of a stretch. C++11 introduced smart poi…

> It's not very novel, though (...) I completely disagree. The rollout of agentic tools, and even support for agent mode in IDEs, is the whole value proposition of AI code assistant services. …

> What statically typed language would you suggest for machine learning and large data pipelines? I don't love Python, but it has by far the largest ecosystem. Pay no attention to OP. It'…

> Hmm... that doesn't answer the question? GP's point is obvious: performance is immaterial to the discussion. Static code analysis is about preventing bugs. Therefore OP fails to make an…

> If you are going to be super-strict with type-checking, wouldn’t it be best to switch to a statically typed language and get the performance gains as well? I don't understand your question. …

> The big breakthrough is we can interact with the agents using natural language - because of the LLM. Without ReAct and tool calling, all you have is a chatbot. That's useful, but it's j…

> The secret sauce though is all the datasets, RL training, knowledge of what works from doing all kinds of ablation experiments, and a massive compute moat. ReAct loops and tool-calling are the cr…

I would go further and ask what do electron apps offer in the way of improvements that WebApps don't. In mobile, webview-based apps exist mostly because they provide more ways to gather data on u…
