I’d second this, there’s also a whole lot of cool products written in C/C++ that people tend to overlook. A lot of audio related software if you’re interested in music production.

You’re not factoring in the petrol, maintenance and parking cost of that €3k car so I don’t feel it’s really a status symbol, it is pretty practical. Costs aside I literally don’t have anywhere to park a car. A cargo bike I can manage. I ag

Perhaps using "outrageous" was hyperbole, let's say "above market" and not 10x the going rate. There's a pretty clear contextual difference between these two situations, nobody is cold calling or going door-to-

Two entities entering a contractual agreement over an agreed price doesn't in anyway meet the definition of a scam so I'm not sure where you're getting that from. You sound somewhat naive on how negotiations like this often g

Yeah one difficult client can wreak havoc on a freelance business. I would just give an outrageous quote if I wanted to get rid of them. Also why it’s important to have contracts.

Would expanding wasm capabilities be a better long term option here instead of supporting TS directly? Opening the browser up to a whole lot of languages, including Typescript (AssemblyScript exists already).

Not OP and anecdata but our CTO is in his 60s and contributes a lot of code to a fairly modern stack, he doesn’t appear to have any trouble keeping up.

I agree but they do seem quite focused and have made a lot of headway over the last year or so when I first started following the project. I think switching to a rust backend was the right move and will open the project up to a lot more pla

Yep. Despite the initial few interesting talks it’s now just self promoters and NFT cultists.

I’ve seen at least one person from the Swift team involved in the Rust project on github - does the Swift team have special privileges in this case?

Yeah I miss them. When we visited home last, my girlfriend (German) was amazed that we have a switch on them to turn each plug off and on rather than having to completely yank it out of the wall like with the Euro ones.
