Java is just as fast in the RealLife(tm) as C++. Or more exactly, I'll write a fast-enough Java application faster than you'll write a third of it in C++. And Python for efficiency? Don't make me laugh.

Swift right now is a slow toy with incoherent semantics (lambdas and no GC, really?). It has _NO_ real advantages over Rust as they both use the same LLVM ecosystem for the backend. And I don't get where you got the idea that Swift uses any kind of JIT, it's a strictly compiled language like Rust. Compile speed of Rust is excellent (it's self-hosting, so there's a fair amount of code to compile) and by now Rust's design is mostly finished.

But of course, as we know, Apple has invented programming languages.

"Throwing people in jail" also isn't a very good solution.

I agree, electric chairs are better.

The financial collapse was a result of mistakes, not crimes. We don't arrest people for making bad investments.

I mistakenly bet on black in Las Vegas and lost $1000. Can I have my money back, please?

Yeah, sure. And you also went to a local unsubsidized parish church, where you were taught by a totally unsubsidized teachers. And of course, you had to go uphill both ways through swamps and most definitely not by a public subsidized road.

Reality: you got it easy, going to a public school where you used a subsidized (by local and federal taxes) infrastructure. We as a society decided that having a universal literacy is worth the taxes. Even though in your cases you simply use all this wealth to spend your time writing inane racist blatherings. What's the difference?

And according to that same source, for 2012, there were 8,974,762 non-fatal accidental injuries from falls

Yes. And that's why building codes are being updated to reduce number of dangerous stairs, mandate friction strips on stairs and so on.

What are we doing about rampant gun violence? Ah yes, we're passing laws freeing gun manufacturers from ANY responsibility.
