PlantUML if you want to maintain the diagram in version control. yEd for interactive use because of its auto-layout function. Not unintuitive to use though. It takes some effort to learn. Enterprise Architect if your company pays the money

I don't consider it a statement about the future but rather about the inevitable consequence whenever this game is played. Maybe it should be rephrased as: For this statement one will receive prize A or C. @Carapace I find joy in discu

I think the big point is that developers should trust you. One of the best ways to achieve that is to participate in coding a little. My experience says the architect should avoid the critical coding and focus an quality topics. For example

There is no definitive answer because there is not even a good definition what software architecture actually is [0]. So you need to find an answer fitting your organization yourself. One idea could be that you start a document with the Arc

For a nearly 30 year old software like vim, Github stars are not a relevant metric. Vim probably has users who have never even heard of Github.

There is a trick for indentation: Use a context-sensitive lexer in front of a context-free parser. The lexer serves indent and dedent tokens to the parser. With this trick, you can parse Python with a context-free grammar.

The promise is that providers can build one package for all Linux distros, Afaik. Less work for packagers. More packages for obscure distros.

I don't understand Urbit now and then. Is it artwork like TempleOS? Is it over-ambitious vaporware like Xanadu? Is it a revolution attempt like Bitcoin? The technical details (Hoon and Nock) sound weird like TempleOS. Some claims (see
