What most of the HN community seems too misunderstand is that the very nature of being here means you're far more deeply ingrained in tech than most.
Personally I'm almost a layman when it comes to hardware and compiler technologies. When Lex asks basic questions, they are the sort of things I want to hear about.
Sure there's room for a more in-depth/challenging conversation but I don't think that Lex's podcast is the place for that. Theres probably a handful of people who would be able to challenge Chris properly (Maybe a conversation with another LLVM contributor or someone on the Swift team would be interesting).
Loved the podcast Chris, thanks for giving your time and hope you keep doing stuff like this!
- kgarten 6y agoMy problem is more with the title: "The Future of Computing and Programming Languages" implies some kind of overview and outlook. They more or less discuss a small set of current technologies completely out of context (not even mentioning/hinting at current work/ research directions outside of LLVM and the Swift universe) then venturing off into very speculative topics (in which both are none-experts). It's a really questionable title and in my opinion bad framing.
