I'd rather read 3 lines of clear code than one line of esoteric syntactic sugar. I think regardless of what blogs say, Go's adoption compared to that of Rust or Zig speaks for itself
By that metric we should all use Javascript

Can you explain for those of us less familiar with Haskell (and monads in general)?
Reader monads have been used to implement dependency injection in Haskell and Scala libraries. A monad in general is the ability to compose two functions that have pure arguments and return values that encode some effect... in this case the effect is simply to pass along some read only environment.
Based on my understanding of above, passing an environment as a parameter is not the Reader monad, in fact passing the parameter explicitly through chains of function calls is what the Reader monad intends to avoid in typed, pure functional programming.

Except in 2025 we know better regarding safer systems programming languages, use after free is no longer something that we should tolerate.
It's way to early to declare Rust and borrow checking as a panacea for systems level languages.
Zig has a solid story for memory safety but makes a different set of trade offs than Rust.
IMHO there is room for a few different approaches to systems programming.

The gall of this comment...
It should be in an ignominious hall of fame.
Nazi salutes are done by Nazis. It really is that simple.
No, it's really not that simple. It was an ambiguous motion, explained by Musk quite clearly. Whether you believe him or not is purely subjective, but I at least offered some explanation why I do.

It's been shown in Postgres https://www.paradedb.com/blog/lsm_trees_in_postgres
Oddly that's been removed, but it is still in the wayback machine.

> Elon visited Auschwitz with Ben Shapiro and declared he was "aspirationally Jewish". Trump has Jewish children and Grandchildren
Fascism and Jewishness are not inherently inexorably opposed such that being “aspirationally Jewish” (if that weren't a completely vacuous claim to start with) or having Jewish family members is counterevidence to being a fascist; Xenophobia and creating a foreign enemy are common elements of fascism, which foreign enemy it is not consistent among different particular instances of fascism.
> Calling someone fascist and Hitler gets them murdered these days, I wish people would be more sensible.
The resurgent fascism in America and its government kills far more people, far more directly, than calling people fascist could reasonably be claimed to.
I am not sure what you mean by fascism in America or what deaths you are referring to. Seems you are okay with some political inspired murder though.
