@thejvmbender Tools are showing up around C and C++ (Fil-C, c++/sys, standard library hardening, sanitizers) that observe the running program and aborts it when it violates memory safety.
These tools have a runtime cost, so they are recommended for debugging, not for production use.
Whether your program is memory-safe or not depends on whether you have a runtime version or a production version.
It's memory-safety state changes based on whether you observe it or not. Sounds quantum to me :-)
Exciting news!
We're thrilled to welcome Pavel as our first Pixi core maintainer from outside Prefix! With his extensive contributions, we have full confidence in his stewardship of the project. Thank you for your past work, and here’s to an even stronger collaboration ahead!
Random thought of the day:
#cpp is about to beat #rust in its own game by becoming the first "quantum memory safe" language.
Depending on whether you observe the binary running (e.g. by running in Fil-C, c++/sys, to a lesser extend with library hardening and sanitizers) or not (e.g. release builds), the binary will either be memory-safe or not.
You can now install the Open-Source physics engine, Newton, with Pixi! 🤖
Getting a full humanoid robot simulator has never been easier, just run one command!

[EDIT: now sorted thank you SO MUCH!]
Heads up my dudes, my son needs to do work experience this summer and he's a programmer. Nearly 15, can do 3 decent languages, main in Java, been programming since 4. All he wants to do is be a developer. Anyone offer work experience these days? Two weeks in July. London or Dartford way or anywhere in between. Ta! Retoots appreciated!
@orhun @ratatui_rs Too bad that so many of your recommendations come without binaries on Github.
I have already added several tools you recommended to my little Github binaries repackager for the conda packaging eco-system:-) I love having these tools on `pixi global install` away from all my machines, independent of the OS they are using.
A packaging ecosystem is great when it contains all the stuff you need. Here is a simple way to add binary releases made by projects on @github:

Just published a blog post about a tool that imports github releases into the conda packaging eco-system.
A packaging eco-system is only good when it has all the stuff you need. Having a simple way to add binary releases made by projects on github is a win I think:-)

It was a fun experience playing with github API, prefix.dev APIs and the many ways projects package binaries in their CI scripts.
@oschonrock @vitaut When nobody implements something in a great way, then maybe it is not an implementation issue? Maybe it is the standard? Or maybe it is an organisational issue?
Maybe people that care for C++ need to maintain a good reference compiler frontend and let the compiler people care for the compiler backend stuff?
