It's alright as a dropin sqlite replacement. I ran into a bunch of problems with libsql on windows a year or two ago when I tried it but I'd assume it's fixed now. They also offer turso db as service with a very generous free plan which was my main reason to try it.

What do you mean? It has to mirror the behavior of the hardware pretty closely otherwise... well... the games don't run.

F# is a good language, but I feel like it's forever stuck in C#'s shadow. A lot of the library code is C# and .NET handmedowns. Not interfaces or libraries crafted with F# in mind, often having no explicit documentation for use with F# either.

Translating library usage from C# to F# is pretty mechanical so not sure if specific docs are needed.

The larger issue is the C# community loves OOP so you often have to wrap these libraries into something more “FP” if that’s how you want to work.

Overall it’s far better than having nothing (looking at Haskell, OCaml as much as I enjoy them!)

Yeah there is some degree of awkwardness created by the interaction, but I think it’s less about needing specific libraries to map well and more about getting a good understanding of what the interop rules are, and what the shape of the underlying generated output actually looks like.

C# interoperability loosens guarantees (particularly immutability) that F# code normally relies on. There are surprising limits that come up in generics because of how they map to C#.

Are there any plans to add syntax sugar for interacting with vtables?

Wish we could bribe Andrew Kelley to add a built-in for this. There are only a couple of regular ways that everyone creates these vtables. Might as well just standardize it.

I feel like a std lib module would be sufficient.

Sadly no, as fas as I'm aware. I can't think of creating vtables manually every time I need to create interfaces, I guess Zig is not for me.

Yeah I don't understand why a language cannot automate something that routine and boilerplate-y.

Oh well, people like it so I won't judge, I'm happy we have choices for what languages we use. Just wish people would choose safe ones :/

People really need to stop making analogies and saying what things really are.

After effects is usually used for compositing and also supports some vfx, but isn't meant for realtime use. This would be similar to vvvv or touchdesigner, used for audio reactive visuals (VJing), interactive art exhibits, etc.

I think it has to do more with familiarity than complexity. You could have a good understanding of features like the ones showcased in the blogpost, but it could take you a minute of staring at a line to parse it if someone uses it in a way you're unfamiliar with. Doing that for potentially hours on end would be a pain.

It's definitely something I'd write for fun/personal projects but can't imagine working with other people in. On a side note, I believe this is where go's philosophy of having a dead simple single way of doing things is effective for working with large teams.

Seems like this is a paid product meant for enterprise use.

I have trouble even just veryfing that on their page. So far its an instant turnoff, when I cant even find basic info.

Interesting. Does anyone else see a band of green in their blue? My boundary is at 170. Greener than 85% of the population. This point looks like the transition between blue and green to me, to the right I can see the gradient go to blue then to green again, then back to blue. So there's a green band in the middle of my screen.
