      Anyone have any idea when anyone will be actually getting this year’s Novavax in stock? You can schedule appointments for the new Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines starting Friday (they will ask you if you have any qualifying conditions if you’re under 65 and the answer is yes)

      This is a fun one: I just sent go.dev/cl/790740, which elides method wrappers for embedded types at offset zero, common for mixins/inherited data types. Doing this removes 60 _thousand_ method wrappers from tsgo's AST package, dropping the compilation of our main exe from 49s to 28s on my machine.
      Benchmark 1: go build -a ./cmd/tsgo
  Time (mean ± σ):     48.992 s ±  0.274 s    [User: 345.152 s, System: 12.545 s]
  Range (min … max):   48.702 s … 49.478 s    10 runs
 
Benchmark 2: ~/work/go/bin/go build -a ./cmd/tsgo
  Time (mean ± σ):     28.323 s ±  0.133 s    [User: 141.277 s, System: 4.853 s]
  Range (min … max):   28.075 s … 28.555 s    10 runs
 
Summary
  ~/work/go/bin/go build -a ./cmd/tsgo ran
    1.73 ± 0.01 times faster than go build -a ./cmd/tsgo

      Most of my life has been surrounded by this level of kindness. People I have never met take the time to say nice things and practice kindness. It's one of the reasons I still have faith in humanity.

      I've never attended to any of your talk but watched some of the replays.
      As a non-native English speaker the thing I most admire about you is how brilliantly you manage to express your thoughts with such clarity 🤌✨
