Wow, of course he's pretending the response is a misrepresentation of his opinion instead of defending it in good faith.

Languages with dynamic typing and implicit large-integer types, such as Python and Ruby, generally just convert to that large-integer type.

I figured Java would probably define the behavior in the JVM, but based on a quick web search it sounds like it probably doesn't by default, but does provide library methods to add or subtract safely.

Rust guarantees a panic by default, but provides library methods for wrapping, saturating, and unchecked (i.e. unsafely opting back in to undefined behavior).

I really like that it follows this up with, effectively, "we're done here, get out"

This is as funny as the Clyde response, arguably funnier.

"used to"?

Was this analogy actually wrong, though? The internet is more like tubes than like trucks. Tubes captures the concept of bandwidth, as well as infrastructure needing to be in place prior to sending anything.
