No all your examples are of dev tool companies. The successful business model is more like make tool, give away tool, make random project management/accounting/tool that devs would never use and normies can't make.

The answer is you don't sell the tool. You release the tool, others help you make it better, then you use the tool to build the actual thing.

McCarthy's pure Lisp existed only on paper. The first Lisp that ran on a computer had mutable variables, as did Lisp 1.5, Maclisp, etc... Immutability requires lots of copying and early computers didn't have much memory to spare.

Common Lisp is pretty much the opposite of what people think of as functional nowadays. You're constantly changing the image and everything is mutable.

Curious what the "use" or "assistance" of LLM models means. I mostly use Gemini as a front-end to search Google without getting ads or SEO garbage, would that be forbidden?

With all the naysayers on Gemini models I'm curious how many people actually use Gemini regularly? For me, Gemini models are the most usable. Claude Opus and Mistral always try to turn queries into one-shot enormous commits, which jus

SDL is more of a "platform" you can use anywhere. It includes literally everything you'd want from the OS layer (windowing, graphics, audio, input, network code, threads) whereas GLFW is just windowing, graphics context and
