Maybe Clojure. In 2022 it took the top spot for "Top paying technologies" in the annual StackOverflow survey [0], and in 2023 it tied with other lispy languages [1]. That said, I don't think it matters much. A developer famil

I disagree with this statement in general. Institutions/nature (the game) cannot be held accountable. Persons can be. If we want to change the world, it starts with changing the behaviour of individuals, slowly changing the institution

Reading this I wonder if a computer program falls under "any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof". Has it been established that a computer program can be a protection circumvention tool?
