Lets sue them for using Fourier tranform without paying royalties. Starting amount is 1 million dollars per equation.

The learner is stuck in an infinite loop to learn C++. the master aborts and retries with D.

and this why you use the latest and greatest and update your interface to updating dependencies. It has nothing to do with FOSS.

with D serving as an advanced alternative. I view SWIFT as an Apple way to say that its platform is closed in every possible sense.

I thought UEFI was about loading these blobs, not the OS.

" But what would that mean, and what other big next steps are there?" Step 1. Quantum blobs for drivers. Step 2. Quantum NDA for quantum driver development. Step 3. Quantum blobby firmware that you can use from their quantum app center only. Step 4. Quantum secure boot. You cannot install quantum linux on this quantum computer, quantum corporates are quantum mechanically holding you from your quantum .... Step 5. Stallman dies accidentally in a Schroedinger quantum experiment because he tried to persuade people that FOSS has the same power to liberate people in both classical and quantum reality.

Who have heard of Cyclone? -> Rust is Cyclone Who have heard of Vala? -> The Gnome developers? As far as Limbo/BitC they are academic attempt. One more correction. The article talks about C++ and comes into conclusion that C++ is the best. If you follow the logic you can safely assume that C11 is the best language ever. It is even better than C++ because you can write code in C call it from D, export a C header for the DLL and call it from Go. Can you do it in C++ without wrappers? Mine is bigger than yours. Moreover there are more compilers for C than C++.

I would be also interested to see the author's opinion on D and how it compares with C++.

I do scientific visualization and I bet hard on open source. Nvidia attitude makes me always buy Intel. When opengl is a problem I use mesa even on windows. Qt5 with its new 3d stack will justify my shopping list. Hopefully we will see oss gfx cards just like USB/PCI cards that need no blobs.

" Should video streams captured inside the plane become a standard part of aviation safety measures?" Hell yes.

You have to look around to understand that our world is dominated by such a co-operation. But as it happens in nature, you can recover your intuition with sensistivity analysis. Which of the two choices is more robust under noise?

In this case he was right. Apple goes away from ObjC. If resources were poured on GNUStep + Clang the whole project would be perished at Apple's will (see Swift). If you want my 2 Cents, re-write it to D. GCC has a D frontend. ObjC development is too costly to invest your limited resources. Apple is a corporate, they do whatever they need to get money even if they choose to betray the 3rd party developers. However by porting to D I see bright future. C is not an option because the resources are limited.

This is what RMS tells. Support GNU. Nothing special. BSD or GPL is irrelevant. LLDB vs GDB is also irrelevant. Just prioritize good GDB support over LLDB. It is a resource assignment question.

VP9 should be better.

FPC (this is what I have the money to buy) is a good target for code generation. FPC people need a nimrod for Pascal that extends (and not substitutes) the syntax of FPC so that valid pascal is valid pascal-nimrod. In this language they could add functional features. FPC as it is has nothing more to offer to programming. Even if I find C a low level language, I believe it is very good. Nimrod guys seem to have the same opinion.
