> Less obvious, C++ has strong compile-time metaprogramming and execution features that can be used to extensively automate verification of code properties with minimal effort

Would you be willing to share some more information about this? Interested in learning more since this sort of thing rarely seems to come up in typical situations I work in.

I have never seen this behavior on macOS and doesn’t make sense. However, some applications will save files by creating a copy and overwriting. Maybe that’s what the author experienced?

I agree with his sentiments in the article. I love Rust as a PL, but the situation with certain crates and dependency trees is a bit of a nightmare IMO. It's certainly a trade off.

I recently ripped out the rand crate and replaced it with some much simpler code ported from a C++ codebase. Still does what I need it to do but way fewer LOC and way less complexity. Is it as flexible as what rand and related crates offer? Maybe not, but that flexibility comes at a cost.

No, but the latest release is from August, so not dead anyway.

Probably because that’s not part of the C standard library, but a POSIX offering. Author does cross-platform work including Windows.

Yup. And given how well it works already and the feature set, I’d say it’ll be well worth the money.

FWIW, Lua 5.3 (released in 2015) introduced integers. But agree with the rest.
