This is exacerbated by the fact that Julia's Pkg.jl does not yet support conditional/optional dependencies [0]. A lot of these meta packages tend to pull everything but the kitchen sink. [0]: https://github.com/Jul

Thomas is right. Social media platforms are a natural monopoly, their value for users is proportional to the size of their user-base.

Engineers cost money. A LOT of money. A few tens of thousands USD for libraries is not a major investment.

I don't think this advice is suppose to apply to /actual/ data structures. Rather, it applies to "business-logic objects" (e.g. video game entities or whatever).

Using make as a command runner (instead of an actual build system) feels bitter-sweet. I do that. I no longer trust make as an actual build system (too easy to be incorrect, dynamic targets requires gymnastics or makefile generators). But,

The author posted some interesting applications using Goblins (a video game and chat app). There is some interest in porting Goblins to Guile Scheme to integrate with GNU Shepherd (a service orchestrator) ... somehow.

Lisp totally works for scientific/statistical computing! Julia, for example, is commonly called a Lisp. And S/R/&c. are also very lispy. As is APL, to a lesser extent.

Great to see Loudvic talk about this openly. Performance is often overlooked in Guix discussions (and other package managers). Guix performance is really aweful. One thing that is not discussed here is "accidental compiling". For

For me, I differentiate between note taking & note archiving. The latter is best done electronically. The former is best done by hand for many reasons stated by the author.

Japan has national zoning laws. This makes it much cheaper to build since builders have to compete at a national level. And there is less greasing of local politician's pockets.

On the package ecosystem side, 1.6 is required for JET.jl [0]. Despite being a dynamic language, the Julia compiler does a lot of static analysis (or "abstract interpretation" in Julia lingo). JET.jl exposes some of this to the us
