odin language design
- on negative indexing (discord). Shorter: actually using negative indexes would be an unacceptable performance hit. gB's aware of how D, Nim, et al. do something similar but nobody's proposed a syntax he likes for Odin.
- the package system. Packages are directories. You can't have code for two Odin packages in the same directory. The
packagedirective isn't the name of the package as far as importing is concerned, but is still required, and is used as an ABI symbol prefix. - why not i5, u15, and other arbitrary-width numbers? Because Odin wants high mechanical sympathy (without using that term) and these nonsense types would have to be implemented in software.
- RAII
- Nullable Pointers
advocacy
- No, I don't hate advocacy. We're just worse off when people with professional opinions and experience are too cool to share.
- Pragmatism in Programming
- BDFL quotes
- https://graphitemaster.github.io/odin_review/ (very few bugs in the compiler after a year of use, LLVM, doesn't play so well with debugging)
