   I tried the beta around August last year. I struggled grokking it mostly because I had had very minimal experience with SQL - which it kind of assumed you already know the drawbacks of. However, I did like the idea very much. Looking forwar

    So many new programming languages coming up with clever features that makes me wish I could mix and match their core features while using libraries from more popular languages. Up and coming Languages I am excited about - 1. Roc - https:&#

    I last tried Nyxt three months ago. While it was okay on text-heavy sites, I had a jarring experience in media heavy pages like YouTube. I switched back to Firefox but gonna give Nyxt another try soon.
