Inserting into dynamic arrays isn't that fast, the array is copied on every insert

6

This isn't a big deal for small arrays, but for dynamic arrays with many elements, it's noticeable that every new insert is significantly slower than the one before. I'd much...

Currently the debug info consists of only the module name, function name and line number. This is sufficient for printing meaningful runtime error messages, but not for step-by-step debugging. In...

Currently, a stack frame of any function, whose body has at least one ref count increment instruction, is moved from the stack to the heap. The resulting heap frame is...

Memory leak if a fiber function does not return

1

The reference count for `buf` is increased when passed to `fiberspawn()` and decreased upon returning from `f()`. If `fibercall()` is not called, it never gets decreased. ``` fn f(parent: ^fiber,...

Unicode support

What Unicode to choose for chars and strings? **UTF-8** *Pros*: Backward-compatible with ASCII, no need to support both "narrow" and "wide" strings *Cons*: Chars have variable width, ambiguous `len`, `sizeof`...

Name placeholder (like `_` in Go)

Checking non-owing reference validity

The language documentation mentions > ...a method named `commit()`, which maintains the validity of the original owner while transferring ownership. I understand this as that the old reference will remain...

Virtual methods?

It looks like all polymorphic types in Adept are resolved at compile time. In other words, they are equivalent to C++ templates. Does Adept support virtual methods and run time...
