> compiler diagnostics are part of feedback.

A facet. The point is length of the feedback loop and you start babbling about individual compiler diagnostics. A compiler that takes a second is going to be more useful than one that takes a minute, even if the one that takes a minute gives better diagnostics. I've done sixty iterations by the time you've done one, and I only needed two iterations anyway.

That's not ironic: C is the machine.

If you are talking about safety guarantees, Hindley-Milner is Hindley-Milner. GC is an implementation detail, not a compiler guarantee.

> rust has memory safety *without overhead*.

Demonstrably and demonstrated false.

> whether rust is good didn't even matter for my point, only that it was enabled by apple being less jewish than stallman.

If that's your entire point, you're a goddamn babbling idiot. None of any of this had anything to do with that. My point was "Here is the latest revision of some code I have written", rms is the digression.
