Joke: Why is it called C++20? Because there are 20 different ways to initialize a variable.
Your case is covered by the "rarely" word in my comment.
As someone who uses Python since 2004, you got it backwards.

Python was popular before because it's very nice language. People wanted to use it for science to, so they wrote very good scientific libraries for it.

R was very popular for non-neural-network ML some years ago, yet it wasn't picked up for NN, because R kind of sucks for general programming. As the joke goes, the best part of R is that is a language written by statisticians. The worse part of R is that is a language written by statisticians.

Python was growing at accelerated speed year on year well before neural networks.

For once it's impossible to work in Java without an IDE and without creating a project.

But you can just write a simple 20 line Python script to do some data mangling, no project with 30 IDE files required.

Real world code rarely uses recursion, and if it does it's the kind that doesn't allow tail call optimization.
Obesity is killing people for decades now.

Telling people "just get fit" doesn't work.

The fact that they don't exist should tell you something - paying consumers don't care about this.

You sitting on the sideline are not a paying consumer, and there are two few like you for such a product.

Remember that all TV started dumb, and SMART TV's were always premium products.

Re:Trackers: The Sound of 16-Bit [video] on Monday November 22, 2021 @09:19PM (#29313931)
On your first link, the 1991 one, you can hear the very distinctive TB-303.

Could those be samples? Sure, but it's much easier to use the real thing than try to record those modulations.

Maybe they also used a tracker on that song.
