What would you say is the current best in class toolchain for .NET (assuming I'm running on a ARM Mac)?

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a "toy" for them, I know some engineers there and someone who joined recently who spent significant time learning Elixir before joining.

I think it's somewhat of a stretch to say our "base model" had billions of years of evolution. Billions of years ago, mammals didn't exist and the only things around were more like plankton or algae and had nothing like

I think my preference is Northrop Frye’s analysis in “Anatomy of Criticism”, his categories of “mythic”, “romantic”, “high mimetic”, “low mimetic”, “ironic” are particularly useful for analyzing the history of literature from mythic legends
