This! A 1000 times this!

You're probably right, but I think I've heard of Rust in public in 2010 and that it was started by Graydon in 2007.

If you mean by "entire" the spelling of one keyword and the omitting of parentheses. Everything else seems to be more related to C and various Action/ECMAScript like scripting languages.

He's talking about C, not Go. Because Ken Thompson created B, the precursor of C.

There's even a nice tutorial: http://go-database-sql.org/overview.html

Canonical mismanagement, contributor license agreement, missing manpower.

You're using Rust and call Mono incomplete? lololololol

I can relate to you. I stopped watching YouTube years ago and I've never missed it since then.

Just give it a more efficient name. In German it's referred to as [veː].

I think the number of displayed characters is even font-dependent.

To find an index of a substring you need to scan the string, right. But once you have the byte index you can quickly jump to its position in the string, e.g. when you do a slice operation based on that index: s[i:]. If strings.Index() returned a code point index and not a byte index you would have to scan the string again.

GTK+ uses Pango [1], which uses the FreeType [2] backend on Linux. There's also a pure Go implementation of FreeType. Here's the entry point for those who are interested in reading the code: http://code.google.com/p/freetype-go/source/browse/freetype/...

For index based operations code units are more useful than code points.

a = s.indexOf("e̬̱ͤ̈́̿̂̅́͟")

b = s.indexOf("m̛̮̩͙ͦ͗͆̄̋́̄")

s[a:b]

This operation is fast with code unit indices and slow with code point indices.

VB 6 doesn't have lambdas, VB.NET does have lambdas.

Plan 9 was basically the successor of Unix by the same research group, more modern, taking the ideas of Unix further, a distributed operating system with full network transparency, better shell (actually, rc already replaced the Bourne shell in version 10 Unix) and lots of other goodies such as the plumber. And it served as the "reference implementation" for UTF-8.

If they "hate the mouse" why do they actually add more functionality to the middle mouse button? The article headline makes no sense.
