  • Alright, I’ll actually dive into the research again…

    Oh, I see, D is garbage collected, so really it’s more like Java or Python. Maybe that’s what I’m remembering. Also, @safe code sounds like it’s pretty limited - far more limited than non-unsafe Rust.

    Basically, if a language had been Rust before Rust showed up, Rust would have been a non-event. They solved a problem that was legitimately open at the time.








  • Cooling by radiation is slower than convection or conduction, but it still happens. The James Webb went from room temperature to deep cryogenic in a few months, and it’s big. As for moisture, things cook off into a vacuum very easily. That’s the foundational to the whole concept of freeze drying, actually.

    Freeze dried wood is absolutely commercially available, if pricey. I have no idea if anyone has used it for musical purposes either. There’s a lot of audiophile-ish magical thinking in that space so it’s possible nobody has bothered.

    Edit: Although, since this is a research project, maybe not freeze drying it first was the point.
