       the fact that source code is measured in megabytes is terrifying

       @xerz gtk and qt rank in the several megabytes to gigabyte range, and a lot of compilers also do

       reading http://blog.syncpup.com/posts/let-it-crash-under-attack.htmlBut with all that, as Joe Armstrong once jeered, no amount of type checking would catch the following bogus code:```maybe_write() ->    {ok, U} = file:open("/path/to/file.txt", [write]),    file:close(U),    ok = file:write(U, <<"foo">>),    ok.```im currently noodling with an idea for a PL where functions can 'consume' their parameters, making them unusable. this example would not work in such a PL; linear typing

       @ukko rust's type system is complex, linearity is simple

       @ukko in a purely linear type system, every value is used at most once, and nothing else

       @ukko fully linear type systems are unused; you have a property of linearity in functions in greater nonlinear type systems

       @ukko this noodling is part of my idea for an 80% programming language: does things very well 80% of the time

       does anyone know what happened to 'babel', the effort to make a PIE-derived logography 'for all of europe'?
