To me it sounds like what Java or .NET JIT does. I doubt it falls strictly into emulation 🤷‍♂️

Increasing hostility by many foreigners? Shouldn't it be the other way round?

It depends on your use case I'd say. I'm replacing outlook with possibly Thunderbird or just web interface when it comes to exchange. I don't use word, instead markdown for simple documents or typst for more complex ones. Instead of PowerPoint I'll use JavaScript/html based presentation engines and instead of excel, I don't know yet, perhaps LibreOffice equivalent. But then again, I'm more a developer than content creator.

TL;DR when it comes to word like documents, check out typst. It requires a shift, but you might like it.

I for one am ditching Windows and Office which I've been using professionally since Windows 3.0. It's the year of the Linux for me. As per data in US clouds (even hosted in EU), it was never safe.

I don't think so. Ref counting is a counter associated with the object which counts references to it and when it becomes null 0, object is destroyed. Hence ref counting. While GC does graph traversal to find which objects can be reached and marks unreachable ones as candidates for destroying.

It's not trivial as it seems. See https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/37667 and enhancement that happened only in .NET 8.

Record profits help

I don't think that's even possible - to have that much control over GC engine that is.

TBH I almost don't play games and I'm genuinely curious whether GC pauses are noticeable. And not only Rust, there is Swift as well.

Um, no, C# most definitely uses GC, not ref counting, and you can't not use it.

So, pay more it is.

Welcome GC pauses :) I wonder how do those manifests in real life.

Huh, what? While placing solar panels on the roof isn't ideal, it's far from problematic. And roofs aren't only on resident houses, you have plenty of industrial ones which are usually even better as they are flat.

Cannabis doesn't fit here, since it's not s hard drug and has also beneficial effects when taken correctly.

This has been like forever. 😵‍💫

Lol, yes, also destroying industry and makes everything pricier to lower sales.

No, no. Finally build that new roadster and trucks! :)

Yeah, we'll see. There are so many possible issues with this, starting with why. We still have plenty of roofs to cover which are easy, predictable and yield better output for much lower price. Then there are issues with vibrations, efficiency and pollution at least.

Not really, even GUI is going strong, check Avalonia UI.

It was even before through mono/xamarin
