Sorry for not answering your question, but asking how to not let something do your work for you not be so exhausting is like listening to a billionaire complain that they have to instruct their maids and chefs too often.
Rusts tradeoff is awful. People organize struct members in the logical ways in which they will be accessed. Rust just decides to do things different so they can say they do things different and "better" than the old C. The featured article is an extreme case but other normal cases would have the same issue. Packing structs should be the exception.
Why is rust allowed to reorder fields? If I know that fields are going to be generally accessed together, this prevents me from ordering them so they fit in cache lines.
I've had two accounts. I changed because I don't like the history (maybe one other person has the same opinion I did?). Anyways it's pretty obvious why this is an issue. Microsoft has a historical issue with being brutal to competition. There is no oversight as to what they do with the private data on GitHub. It's absolutely an antitrust issue. Do you need more reasoning?
Companies used to be forced to sell parts of their business when antitrust was involved. The issue isn't the downtime, they should never have been allowed to own this in the first place.
There was just a recent case with Google to decide if they would have to sell Chrome. Of course the Judge ruled no. Nowadays you can have a monopoly in 20 adjacent industries and the courts will say it's fine.
Perl was written to write more complicated bash scripts. It's so seamless to call and handle shell commands and the first class regexes make it terse in a way that's appropriate for this use case.
I wish the people who wrote this let us know what king of codebases they are working on. They seem mostly useless in a sufficiently large codebase especially when they are messy and interactions aren't always obvious. I don't know how much better Claude is than ChatGPT, but I can't get ChatGPT to do much useful with an existing large codebase.
