You have a PhD in something that doesn't yet exist? You a time traveler or something?

Strange then that the FPGA market is growing and the number of ASIC design starts are shrinking per year. It is almost like FPGAs are increasingly being used as ASIC replacements in both the high end (backbone routers, RADAR equipment, ASIC simulation) and the low end (replacing misc logic and often a microcontroller). Maybe because they are.

WTF is "geek culture"?

So then we have a long lasting energy source!

Well at least the medium articles tend to be readable (ignoring the useless images).

Then you should see the number of (anecdotal) successful uses of plain sugar or even water!

Or one could skip such things and use actual science for our cures...

IIRC QNX can deliver a POSIX environment in ~32kiB of RAM (kernel + process manager). Why would that have a "negative appeal"?

Are you joking? Ada is easy to understand because it was designed to be. It is verbose and partially redundant by design as that is known to 1) increase understanding of programs 2) decreases some types of common errors.
Pascal wasn't really designed for ease of use (even though it is), one big problem is the use of semicolon as a separator: it isn't always obvious where they should go and misplaced semicolons can generate errors.

Oh there's a need. Koreans are routinely used as a lower caste worker often in near slave conditions. (near = they are _theoretically_ free to leave)

True, and here I have no mod points :(

That isn't how quantum computation work.

Josephson junctions are used daily all over the world so I don't understand your point. There's nothing called a Josephson gate - however one can use Josephson junctions to form gates of different forms - RSFQ and RQL are the most common at the moment.

The reason we don't use computers based on JJ are many - semiconductor logic is well known and very cheap, I'll include III - V semiconductors here even though they are much more expensive than silicon based logic they are still cheaper than superconductive wafers. There still isn't a good type of memory working at the temperatures required. The processes available aren't as good either, 1m and 6 metal layer (4 effective - 2 are used as superconductive ground planes) is the state of the art AFAIK.

There already are systems that are anonymous and secret - look into some digital money designs.

The problem isn't technical - it is a social one: how to ensure nobody gets pressured to vote for somebody. Allowing a user to vote several times and making the last vote count help a bit however it isn't enough...

We need it because that isn't what Rust is about - it is about making safe programming the default and making some common errors in other languages (like dangling pointers) impossible. And doing that while still being useful for systems programming and supporting high performance.
