I dont care for Sam Altman's color. But, c'mon, how's he not white? I learned Duck-typing from Ruby: if it talks like a duck, walks like a duck and swims like a duck -- it's a duck. Applying this to Sam: he's white.

In my last project (Kotlin; web app) I've decided against async (coroutines). I just want to keep it simple. Async "infects" you code: for it to bring benefits your whole codebase needs to be doing it (ingesting requests, db

I thought Logo was interesting because it translated the syntax (and errors) to the language of the programmer. Thereby it removed "learning English" as a prerequisite for learning programming. https://apps.kde.org&#x2F

I'm sure AI corps have violated some IP laws here 'n there. Did not one guy die while he was trying to blow the whistle on this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suchir_Balaji (sorry for the thinfoil hat remark)

Like with all the tricks Meta played... Maybe somewhere deep down Moonshot's EULA is says that they are allowed to "proxy from time to time for research purposes". Then it's legal right? /s

And now we learn they use Swift and Kotlin to replace React with. So they are not replacing it with Ruby. I think they've hit the limits on Ruby (like twitter had on Scala). P.s.: I find Kotlin "an acceptable typed-Ruby" with

Glad they have a patron now. I use it in my project (because scoped-css is not yet available in browsers and I do not want to deal much with CSS). LLMs write Tailwind easily, so that's good. And I do not have yet another place where cr

Not saying Elm does not have it's hard parts, but the solution in there is succinctly different from what you just described that I think you might even find it interesting. I used Qt, Gtk, React, Elm, JS-spagetti-with-some-jQuery-on-t

Also: nagging about the specifics of the README's tone of voice, while the 600-1000MB RAM usage drops to 100-250MB seems a little childish to me. It's still open source! Just like in the pre-AI era they are welcome to submit a PR

I like ReScript/Reason. But it's no were close to Elm. Htmx is the opposite of what I like. I will not use it ever for something serious.

I think the main idea here is the "being able to use Rust for x-platform UIs". If any language is acceptable, yes, you cold use Dart (Flutter), Delphi (Lazarus), C++ (Qt), etc. There are bridges to Rust: https://pub.dev

I'm glad I'm not using this. It's the opposite of how I like to build web apps (which is either SSR with tiny bits of JS on top that I like to use Alpine.js for; or a JS-app that I like to use Elm for as life is too short run

Cool! I'd say we need a big linux distro to buy into it, so that it provides it's config-panel and package manager UI in this format.

I've such fond memories of Ruby. Just moved to Kotlin since and it feels like a Ruby-with-types-and-Java-interop. Both Ruby and Kotlin are OO-first but FP-ready. Both are very expressive. Interesting enough the JVM is so much further a
