People are also doing that, see FillC. It's just different people doing different things because, well, they have freedom to do what they want.

It’s funny to equate JS with SPA. We’ve had JS on the web since day 1 to add interactivity to otherwise static pages. SPA only became a thing decades later.

You probably know it, but Common Lisp May be a bit dated but it’s extremely modern in terms of features since you can add almost any feature to the language in libraries! I use it exactly because it’s old and battle tested and I don’t need

I prefer Odin to Zig after trying both... but it seems Odin's performance is a bit lower than Zig, C and Rust?! Have you noticed any performance issues or it's not something to worry about?

I think that comes from Ruby, right? I know Groovy is inspired by Ruby and has exactly the same syntax. EDIT: oh just noticed it's 3 dots in the close case... in Groovy it's just 2.

The code samples are so weird... Some are images, others are not, and there's like 10 different color schemes (even among the textual ones, it's not consistent). That actually takes some kind of effort to achieve :D.

It seems pretty common to me?! Java is developed that way. So is Rust. And many others. What exactly do you see as different in Zig?

Yes and D's comptime is much more fun, IMHO than Zig's! Yet everyone talks about Zig's comptime as if it were unique or new.

Common Lisp is not a runtime, it’s a specification. Implementations are free to compile everything to fast native code, or to interpret everything. Various available implementations do that and everything in between. That said , SBCL and th

Not sure. Tauri apps run on the browser and browsers are absolute memory horders. At any time my browser is by far the biggest culprit of abusing available memory. Just look at all the processes it starts, it’s insane and I’ve tried all pop

This argument comes up often but can be easily dismissed. Make up a language and explain it to the LLM like you would to a person. Tell it to only use that language now to communicate. Even earlier AI was really good at this. You will proba

It also looks a lot like a tool that has a description mentioning it has a more detailed MD file the LLM can read for instructions on complex workflows, doesn’t it? MCP has the concept of resources for this sort of thing. I don’t see any di

Right, I know it is possible, but I have to ask why?? IF you can write a 50,000-line program, you probably could handle a better language for that. I'm on the side of wishing my languages did a lot more for me than they currently do! R

Hm... if you use something like Debian it's quite difficult to get your package installed in the distro. People do review everything that goes in. I find it incredibly silly to compare something like that to npm, where every kid has do

Oh man you pick the one other language that followed the JavaScript model?! How about C, Java, Go, Lisp, C#, C++, D… and new ones like Odin that are explicitly against package managers for this very reason.

I don’t really hate python but would absolutely never use it as a large code base main language. I think what people hate is other people trying to use a scripting language like Python in places where you have large code bases and large tea
