2-13 12:15 <lahwran> how would one have an owned unknown-size non-resizeable array?
2-13 12:15 <reem> Box<[T]>
2-13 12:15 <lahwran> there's absolutely no way to have it on the stack?
2-13 12:15 <reem> Nope
2-13 12:15 <reem> There is no dynamic sizing on the stack right now

All of these are "as long as not at huge expense to the others"; any would be bad on their own.

(in machine-learning-nerd terms, read these as a series of objective functions, and evaluate code based on these as something approximately like the sum of squared errors function. In non-machine-learning-nerd terms, one should try to minimize how much code breaks each of these rules individually. They are not priority sorted.)

• Beautiful is better than ugly - while this is hopefully obvious, looking better is an acceptable thing to aim for.

• Explicit is better than implicit - only delegate to implicit things that are sufficiently common to not be confusing.

• Simple is better than complex - do make things implicit that will be obvious anyway.

Programming learning resources

Note: Many books may be available from a nearby public library. Check there as well!

These two are about the best I've seen for starting from scratch:

• Head First Programming (book, for pay: amazon, python 3)
