What have you switched to from Nim? Have you gone back to Python and put up with the speed penalty or chosen something else? Lazy iterators and generators are something I've missed in Rust. Haskell has them just by nature of everything

What have you found janky in Nim?

Or Nim from what I hear. It does look like Python[1] but it is compiled and seems much much faster. [1] https://nim-lang.org/

I saw it expressed by multiple people whose language of choice was Lisp but the only one that I specifically remember is Ron Garret’s recent post called Lisping at JPL Revisited[1]: All this is a reflection of the so-called Lisp curse,

What a clear way to describe the difficulty with manual memory management. So like Lisp, C might end up being a solo programmer’s tool too. But not because it is a breeding ground for DSLs but because everyone is adhering to different conve

Great write-up on the author's personal perspective. This part in particular I think is a good summary of why this works for him: The next reason is that during my time with C, I have developed a custom software stack designed arou

My guess is that this will become a problem roughly around the time when automated theorem proving becomes viable. Until then, language models just regurgitate sentences. Anything that relies on the sentences being logically coherent cannot

In what sense was C never a fancy assembler? I am not an expert on C nor assembly and would be curious if you could expand on this. The statement makes sense to me because my impression is that most of what happens in C code gets translated

That makes sense. But does that mean that Ruby salaries should be going up too due to old Rails code bases?

I sympathize with that. I do see a point in-between those two extremes though. I don't want to give GitHub free advertising by hosting my code with them nor do I want to feed their ML models. The latter is not completely avoidable sinc
