Great writeout, but also shows the challenges of having regular consumers adopt such systems.

Which is why "The Year of Desktop Linux" will keep being a meme (30 years to 4%), unless we are talking about running Linux Desktops from within WSL and Virtualisation Framework, or for the oldies, VMWare Workstation and Virtual B

Not really, otherwise I wouldn't bump into them all over the place around here.

Yes, because when they go to Media Market and FNAC they will only have macOS and Windows laptops to chose from. Having Tuxedo, System76 and co is great, but what most people care about is what there are in regular consumer shops. Linux adop

Only because some buy Apple instead of supporting Linux OEMs.

Folks are much better supporting Linux and BSD OEMs than buying Apple than then trying to run Linux on their devices.

I see no reference to using Finder in 1990, and original flaws.

Provided examples from 1978 and 1983 languages do that just as well, unless you mean by 1978, C design was too primitive, or even when compared with languages like PL/I and NEWP from 1966 and 1961 respectively, which then I fully agree

Well, we cannot talk about ISO C for some things, and Compiler Specific C for others, depending on the convinience of what is being discussed.

Some of the suggested languages are as old as C, with better ergonomics if you mean ignorig is doing string concatenation instead of manually handling char buffers with pointer arithmetic, or proper reference parameters instead of being for

If the compiler optimizer doesn't reorder the struct fields depending on which flags or pragmas are used, and you could teach that as well in other compiled languages, ignoring the market size of each language.

C doesn't provide anything that C++, D, Object Pascal, Ada, Modula-2, Zig, Swift and many others won't do as well.

Agents were already an idea on the 2000's, even if not AI powered, e.g. Agent TCL. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/612217

They also exist in compiled languages without the performance impact of scripting languages.

They are only surprising for anyone that never used any ahead of time compiled language since FORTRAN was introduced. The golden age of scripting languages being used for applications have setted us back a few decades.

Quite surprising for an ahead of time compiled language. /s

Additionally concepts, and templates and compile time reflection. There are a few ways to do polymorphism in C++, as per latest ratified standard.

Basically what we were already doing before Cloud took over distributed computing and grid computing as industry terms, Open Stack and a few others.

Eventually we will be back to pre-node days, when compiled languages were the majority for JS tooling (C, C++, Java, C#,...), the yin yang of cool technology cycles.

We use them regularly, given that is how SaaS and iPaaS products get connected with AI tooling.

No need to single out SV, non compete clauses are pretty much an American concept, hardly used in the rest of the world. On my 50s and never saw one of those, that could be legally enforced anyway.

In many countries it is a plain office job like everyone else with high education.

Certainly not in European countries, although probably irrelevant in this case.

There is hardly anything novel in Web other than catching up to Flash or native apps.

Basically Flash 2.0.
