To clarify what stackless means when you're writing code:

* calling into the coroutine from the caller uses the caller's stack (i.e. it just pushes on another stack frame).
* the lack of a coroutine stack ("stackful" coroutine) means that the coroutine can only "yield" a value from a single method; it cannot call a function F, and then have F yield back to the original coroutine's caller.
* In other words: you can think of it like a "coroutine with one stack frame for coroutine yielding semantics"

The compiler does some magic to slice up the coroutine into segments (between co_ statements) and stores state that must persist between these segments in a coroutine frame (in addition to the "slice" that the coroutine should continue at once it is called again).

The real tricky part is the lack of library support. From what I've seen, it seems like a naming convention is all that defines what various coroutine functions are, e.g. `promise` or `promise_type`. This is very much like iterators, which can be written via structural subtyping: anything that has the special static type values and/or methods can be used as one.

How to Make a Production Checklist
I see no problem to bump versions of a few packages, rebuild them, and install them via system package manager. Are you developer or user? Of course, some software may not work after that, but package manager newer stays in your way, unless you have no idea how to use it.
I think c# is an unfair comparison in this instance.

You are right, c# does too much. But Go makes it far more work to do basic things - list comprehension for example (what is everyones obsession with for loops?). An opinated language with one way to do things sounds great, but not at the expense of basic niceities you get in other languages.

It remembers me of a fictional documentary like 20 ago in German TV covering the third world war. The premise was a military coup in Russia. Back then, Jelzin just squashed the coup attempt against Gorbatshev. The development was very cold war like, focused on Germany and ended with a full scale nuclear war. Quite chilling. Only criticism I would have is that the Russians were the bad guys, so.

Edit 1: I think that's the one (in German): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ3vkqDaPdg

Edit 2: It is set before the fall of the USSR and the German reunification, classic cold war stuff. Just watching it. Forgot the details, but damn the fall of the iron curtan could really have ended differently. Basically, Gorbatshev was forced to step down and military hawks took over.

Sometimes you need to look a bit further than logical correctness. Yes the two sentences are logically equivalent:

"You cannot trust anything reported out of China"
"Not all things reported out of China can be trusted"

But the language you choose to use has its emotional implication. Ask any Chinese, which of the two sentences is more biased.
My favorite way to summarize this is "some people can use any language to write Java" (or C or Python or Haskell etc.).
The page doesn't contain a lot of information, but still it manages to contradict itself:

There have been a bunch of studies of this, and the conclusions are pretty consistent: women aren't paid less for doing equal work, they're paid less because they end up doing less or lower-paid work once they have children, because they do a disproportionate share of the childcare.

This should still be fixed, but it means the fix is mostly about what happens at home, not what happens at work, which is much more difficult.
Umm... if you download the code you will see that main returns int, but the main1...main6 functions invoked by main return void because they don't need to return a value.
If I had to bet, I'd say Bezos's wealth won't increase today. Amazon is -2.35% in pre-market right now. He will instead probably lose more than any of us has ever made.

I get the idea of the counter but it gives a little too simplified view. There's still risk involved even with Amazon.

Yeah, that's one of my pet peeves too for anything displaying columns of numbers, or a changing number. I heard of "font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums", but is there actually any reason for font designers to not make all numbers the same width by default?

You are right that you are effectively stuck in a single coroutine (non-stack) frame. But you can chain multiple such coroutine frames, because one coroutine can co_await another.

The real problem to me is the fact that this money will get down to his descendants, who will have done nothing more than be born.

Switzerland has the unique advantage of having staid neutral since somewhat 500 years which means their wealth never got plundered or destroyed in one of the way too many wars that have plagued Europe since then. Their neutrality status, combined with a long tradition of utmost banking secrecy, also made Switzerland a perfect "safe harbor" for lots of foreign dark money of all kinds - from kingdoms, warlords and other dictatorships to seemingly "non-profit" corrupt entities such as FIFA, not to mention ordinary European rich wanting to hide their money from the taxman.

tl;dr: Switzerland got rich because of staying neutral and not asking questions about where incoming money originates from, not because of "free enterprise".

Did he? Don't get me wrong, I think if he's earning that amount of money and legally, then he deserve it... but I don't think he's the only one putting "both the work and the risks to get it". If any, is the sum of every (exploted) Amazon employee that makes possible to Bezos to make that amount of money.
I love such websites. The inequality between the super rich and nearly all people is just enormous. It‘s not a critic on the inequality itself but one should understand what it really means.

Not all functions require fixed-width. E.g, I had the page open for a very little bit and it reached a point where the net worth was around $32,674. The function of showing numbers in this comment does not require fixed width. Aesthetics and readability are more important. Both of those are subjective traits. You can optimise for a particular group's aesthetic tastes, or a particular group's readability. Whether or not that requires fixed-width or not is not something I'm able to comment on, however.

Rejuvenation and Why We Need Legal Tech Startups
Agreed. I think the killer use is for event-driven programs that already do a lot of "stack ripping". If you are already manually putting all your "local" variables into an object and slicing your functions into many methods, then the grossness of C++20 coroutines will be easy to digest given how much more readable they can make your code.
I am consistently surprised at how anti-inequality activists return, again and again, to the same tactic of restating the numerical and relative degree of wealth inequality. Like how, every new year, the media publishes the same stories about how Bill Gates / Jeff Bezos / Elon Musk (or whoever the latest richest person is) has earned more than the average person's yearly salary in x number of minutes. This happens despite the repeated, abject failure of this tactic over the past decades to help their cause and create a mass consensus in favour of stronger redistributional measures.

It seems to be a common anti-pattern of political activism across the spectrum: Things that are so intrinsically outrageous to activists that they assume their reaction is universal, and that simple exposure to the facts will be enough to convert others.
Really interesting article - would be very fascinated to hear any detail on use cases for hashing an immutable database.

In TerminusDB we have built an immutable DB based on these (our storage implemented in Rust [1]) principles and are now moving towards content addressable hashing and encrypted layers [2]; however, our user community haven't really found many use cases for these features. I'm sure financial services and other such heavily regulated industries need the governance and confidence, but don't have any detail of the likely implementations.

>>The real problem to me is the fact that this money will get down to his descendants, who will have done nothing more than be born.

I always look at it from the opposite side - it's my choice to leave my money that I made to my descendants. If I didn't want to do it, I would have donated it or spent it on stuff, or simply written them out of my will. So yes, maybe they didn't do anything to "earn" it but it is my choice to give it to them - just like we pay for our children's education and clothing and buy them presents and gifts, one should be free to chose to leave them a massive pile of money. That money should probably be taxed, sure, but if we approach it from the angle of "should I be free to leave my descendants inheritance" then I think the answer is a resounding yes.

Simula and Smalltalk were the two original OO languages. C++ firmly takes its OO capabilities from Simula (the virtual keyword literally comes from there with the same semantics), and is quite distinct from the OO flavour of Smalltalk. Objective-C, with its selector based late binding for example, is clearly Smalltalk inspired.

you actually lose some because you pay taxes, don't you?
Double spend doesn't involve printing money. Especially it doesn't automatically give you twice the amount of cryptocurrency you already had. You need some other half of the double-spend transaction to take from, and that may be tricky to do, especially at scale (and especially if you want your ill-gotten gains to be worth anything).

You can make money off of a double-spend attack, but it's not as simple as 'you double spend, then get as much money as you want'.

> I hate working on unfamiliar Go projects. Copy pasted code everywhere. And everyone builds their own abstractions because there aren't enough.

Arguably, if the project requires lots of abstractions and copy-pasted code, then the project shouldn't be written in Go. Just because you can, technically speaking, write object-oriented code in Go does not mean that it is ergonomic to do so or a recommended use-case for the language. Projects that benefit from object-oriented design should stick to languages with first-class support for it.

You now have a warehouse with million of cakes in it - would you also argue that you didn't put in the work to have them, since they weren't made by hand?
