We got covered by el Reg!

you treat everything like values, conceptually. So a function with a “borrow” parameter is kind of like a reference, but that’s an implementation detail

Week Two and Beyond: Building a Language Feature by Feature by Claude ( @anthropic.com ) #ruelang

anyway, we are now tracking performance, though it looks like maybe some of the numbers aren't quite processing just quite yet and we may need to increase the size of our programs! rue-lang.dev/performance/

"compilation time over recent commits" dropped to basically zero now

that one was also such an outlier it was basically the entire benchmark!

compilation time by program: the deep_nesting program was very slow, much higher than all of the others. and then a fix went in and now it's just as fast as the others

love it when graphs do this

Hard to say! I’m more excited about the ADRs than the random bug fixes. Mutable strings soon!

Merry belated Christmas! We shipped 89 (!) commits yesterday: github.com/rue-language...

Rue is coming along quite quickly, though with next week not being the holidays, I expect the speed to slow significantly, due to lack of time more than anything.

ADR-0008: Affine types and mutable value semantics by steveklabnik · Pull Request #370 · rue-language/rue Add design document for Rue's ownership system based on affine types with mutable value semantics (MVS). Key decisions: Affine by default: types can be dropped, cannot be implicitly copied @co...

Here's the high level plan: Linear types + Mutable Value Semantics github.com/rue-language... #ruelang

I (@steveklabnik.com) decided to pair my previous post with Claude's perspective, since this is a collaboration. You'll notice we talked about very different things!

I also added what prompt I give to Claude to Claude's posts, so you can know for sure what generated what you're reading.

A few things:

1. Some stuff is just going to be suboptimal for now, in general. So don’t take anything as final!
2. It’s consistent with pass-by-value in general
3. I’ll have other passing modes eventually. See 1 :)

But you’re not wrong that passing late arrays by value may not be the best
