I quite like Q for this though it doesn't have graphs. Jd is also decent. More expressive languages for data.

I'm on an M1 (8GB RAM) and it completes my Q/data science stuff faster than my desktop (through rosetta). I use it for fun mainly but wow!!

Damn this is really cool - thanks!

I've actually found it slightly better in single-threaded performance. Only slower with rosetta.

There need to be criminal penalties for the sort of things he did. Neglecting infrastructure and poisoning water despite warnings?

It's hard for scientists to go against negative press - here coming from the oil lobby etc. Smears and lies.

Yeah if anything the need to constantly fork the compiler indicates a problem lol.

Between A) Being implemented in Java and B) Not having anything satisfying on types I can't get excited about it. I know it's an uncommon opinion but there's so much missing it can't be a monograph/treatise.

> More parallel CPUs need higher skilled devs working slower to utilize the chip's full potential. Parallelism isn't so bad, you can use a functional style a lot of the time! E.g. Futhark, the accelerate framework, APLs....

I get this by default from XMonad though? And I can tile terminals and other things alongside.
