The lion kingdom finally forayed into the latest darling of the engagement economy, rust.  In lion minds, if swift has been around so long & was roughly the same, why was it replaced by something else for any other reason than engagement?


The growth in hello world wasn't very flattering.

Like all other current languages, it has to indirect access to the C libraries through wrappers with a new list of conventions like env::args(), File::create, File::open, Command::new.  There are no header files.  As long as the operating system is in C, it's going to need wrapper libraries or bindings.  There are X11, gtk, vulkan, ALSA bindings for rust.

Language models make programming it easier, as long as the program can be broken down into simple steps & each step can be expressed in simple sentences.

In lion minds, seamless access to the historic repository of C libraries is the missing link keeping C++ & C in the forefront of anything beyond text processing.  Even running subprocesses & networking is difficult with wrapper libraries.  You're having to extrapolate the legacy C behaviors into the unique wrapper colorings.

Python has been a house of pain because the wrappers just don't seamlessly pass through the C libraries.  Eventually, there was no easy way to get the desired buffering from the subprocess wrapper & the stdio wrapper.  The same problems are going to happen with any language above C.  Then if you're just doing text processing, the question is why rust instead of python.

The compelling reasons to use Swift & Java were the phone API's only being available in those languages.

Extra hard.  The lion kingdom is on to trying to beat 50, but realistically it's downhill from now on. The peak was 48.

The tendon recovered enough over the last 2 years to run every day, at a certain intensity, with a stable level of pain.  It will never go as fast as it did before or be as painless as it was before.  At least lions still have hair.

    It was time to take on the lion kingdom's 1st 1 star movie. It honestly wasn't as bad as the Dictator, Bedazzled, Monty Python.  Most of the hate was from comparing it to the classic.  Visuals were good for animals who are into castles.  Wonder Heroine as the villain was a good twist.  It was bat shit boring.  Tedious jobs like dialog writing are all automated now & that's definitely not as bad as other movies.  Automated 3D model generation has made modern visuals very lavish.  If only that level of detail could be done in realtime for VR goggles.    Zegler was back from her previous engagement in district 12.   The mane redeeming factor for lions was evil Wonder Heroine.     & finally the Joan of Arc scene everyone hated.    & the ending just fizzled.  It seems they're trying to depart from the physicality of past heroine warriors & make them more like housewives.  It's h...

 Don't kid yourself.  US is a 1 party system.  Unless something is drastically wrong with the 1 campaign, they always vote democrat.  Even as bad as H-Rod was, they still voted for her. Ordering renters to provide $25,000 subsidies to new home owners is basically ordering them to pay what was an entire down payment 20 years ago.  Surely if they could afford these entitlements for home owers, they would have bought houses themselves.  They formerly required the high school dropouts to pay $50,000 in student loan forgiveness to Harvard graduates. Calif* requires renters to provide a $150,000 subsidy to new home owners or about the total cost of a house 20 years ago.    Amerikans just want the Calif* way of life for all.  If you don't like how wealth is redistributed from poor to rich in Calif*, you're not going to like the rest of US. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

  The lunar eclipse situation. Diced tomato spagetti 2.  Plain noodles shining through the diced tomatos, meatballs, oregano, pepper, & cheese still has what it takes.  It's better than watered down sauces with tiny bits of meat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once again pondered if the S & P is another Nikkei 225. The nikkei is back where it last collapsed, 40 years ago, with a similar rate of increase in the last 25% but slower in the preceding years.  Maybe the index fund play has worn out or maybe it hasn't. Both the S&P & the Nikkei doubled in the last 5 years.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
