That covers pretty succinctly a big chunk of a very complex problem. Thanks for that.

I think that's the most succinct explanation of the problem that I've ever seen.

This is the most eloquent and succinct summary of this concept I’ve read so far, well done.

I love clear, succinct explanations like this. Overly complex ("rigorous") definitions are one reason we often miss the big picture. Kudos.

Thanks for putting this so succinctly into words that I've struggled to find for the past few years without rambling on and on.

That was an awesome explanation of this concept. I wish more complex concepts were explained with so much clarity and concision.

Thanks for this comment as it manages to explain something non-trivial in a very concise way, which is not something I find often.

jamiek88 | karma 3501 | avg karma 2.44 · | 2018-06-13 14:02:40+00:00

That is the clearest, most succinct explanation of variables, types and mutability I’ve ever read.

I’m not deep into this yet but I dig the ‘voice’ being used. It’s difficult to break ‘obvious’ things down to those without background while staying concise.
