The alternative is to give List two type parameters, one for reading from the list and one for writing to the list. So in C# syntax: `class List<out Read, in Write>`. Then the compiler would let you pass a list of tomatoes to a function that expects a list of vegetables but only reads from the list. Vice versa th...

Actually Dart's rule goes both ways. It will also allow you to pass a list of fruits to a function that expects a list of apples. That is required because other generics actually work logically in that way, for example a callback<fruit> is a callback<apple>. That's because the callback<fruit> can hand...

Very true. The FSF does this to have the legal position to defend/attack on your behalf. But if it's about using your code in a closed source version, then calling it GPL software just doesn't seem right to me. It makes it look like free software, but isn't. It'd be more honest to just put it under a permissive ope...

"I believe in complete freedom of software, as long as you pay for it." No-one ever says that. If we're talking GPL here the free, as in beer, version will also be available to anyone who doesn't want to pay. You cannot charge for GPL software that you distribute without making the source freely available. So char...

I think it is more a matter of lifespan and escape analysis than anything else. Escape analysis can tell you when you can allocate on the stack and when you can't, for environments as well as other kinds of data. When you can't, the easiest way to deal with these cases is probably a GC. I believe a deeper analysis can ...

You're right that an optionally typed language cannot guarantee the absence of run-time errors. The point of (modern, i.e. not Common Lisps) optional typing is that *statically typed parts cannot raise runtime errors*. Runtime errors *can* be raised on the boundary between static and dynamic code. So for example if you...
