  • First of all: Are you assuming I’m in America? If you are then you’re wrong. And moving to somewhere currently going through mass deportations is just taking a huge unnecessary risk.

    Secondly: while an unstable political situation could be a good motivator to get people organizing collectively, It’s also equally likely that an authoritarian state emerges that will suppress any attempt to reduce peoples dependency to the state. While it would be exciting I don’t think I’m personally up for it.

    I think that it is safer to begin collectivisation somewhere that’s more politically stable to grow a big enough following that when hostilities start you could hold your own. Unless some place already has a lot of anarchic/syndicalist thought then It’s going to be hard to start it with everyone at each-others throats.

    And it’s also possible I’ve misunderstood you’re comment and you’re using anarchy as a synonym for chaos. In which case I just want to point out that my use is different. When I say anarchy I mean a power structure based on mutual aid and strong interpersonal relations without any leaders or hierarchy.


  • I am an EU citizen so Ireland will probably be easier but I’m wondering by how much. I’m much more drawn to the UK as I am more connected to It’s culture.

    My biggest concern is finding new connections. I struggle with it here as well and I don’t think moving to another country will just magically make that go away. Although I do feel more confident in English than in my native language.




  • The Idea is that the enum acts as a union, capable of holding any of the member types, It’s not that different from using identifiers and when transpiling to rust I will probably only support variants beginning with string literals (or maybe generate them).

    The main reason is that I could use type inference to define the variants in a returned anonymous enum.

    I like the pipe symbol because it is useful for distinguishing between enums and structs without keywords. And I just personally think it looks better. And allow for pretty anonymous enums like (|String |Int) for something that can accept both a string and an integer.





  • Thanks!

    I intend for the language to have a similar borrow checker and type system. Which is why I’m targeting rust. It means I have something to check against when writing the tooling. (Although I’m not sure I’ll get that far. My computer is littered with dead projects).













  • Anarchists should get their ideas implemented outside of the state. Build collective structures that exists separately from the state. Start from the ground up. Collectivize some farms. Then get some logistic collectives. Then start up collective food courts in a couple of cities. All functioning in a federation. Create a completely collective food distribution chain. Then start expanding it. No state needed.

    It’s my opinion that these viewpoints aren’t applicable in reality. That’s still not a fact. I might have put it a bit more dramatically but In the end it’s still just my opinion. I state it in the hopes that someone will come along and say “no. they are applicable and here’s why”. That does not sound like denying to me.

    Also even if I am denying the viewpoints I have no problem with that. They are archic viewpoints. They have very little consequence and are, in my opinion, outdated and primitive. We can do better.
