I always see Odoo in any "Who is hiring?" threads. I guess the company is going pretty well. Hope they can continue to thrive, especially in this AI disruption period.

AI companies sell tokens to produce slops. Then they sell more tokens to shield people from those slops.

Just check with pypy and Graalpy. Both support this as well.

As far as I understand, CPython implementation is THE specification. Some billions dollar ERP system firmly rely on this behavior, btw.

I've been doing things in Python for over 20 years. Only recently I learn that I can do this.

    >>> isinstance(dog, Dog)
    True
    >>> isinstance(dog, Cat)
    True

People who care and don't want Obsidian to disappear should support them, not destroy them. They are providing fair price product.

This is an example of why I don't think we're getting anywhere near an age of abundance with AI: we're using the power we've gained in a reductive way.

I guess you don't have the same opinion with your vehicle.
Object Pascal has more runtime reflection features which were added to facilitate visual programming paradigm. Do you know what can be faster than sub-second incremental compilation ? Run-time/Design-time manipulation !
In the future, homework and officework will only exists to generate AI providers revenue.

Agree. We should start treating these statistical tools as tools, rather than pretending they are another kind of being.

Exactly. These people really need to get a life.
Re:Java Is Memory Efficient on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @09:10PM (#49530517)
Java was designed to make manual memory management a non-concern. Yet, ironically, it's the runtime that require more explicit memory tuning than any others.

Re:Mojo 1.0 on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @12:07AM (#49267727)
Whoever behind the company communication have done an incredibly terrible job. They start with an extremely unnecessary polished Steve-Jobs-alike debut video when they have zero stuff to offer, while the founder name is already immensely trustworthy. Then follow with a very ugly AI-image-heavy website and blog posts, only to be reverted back to plain website later.

I'd love the language and platform be succesful, nevertheless.

Love this sentence

"The need to conform to digital designs has created an ambient expectation of human subservience. A positive spin on A.I. is that it might spell the end of this torture, if we use it well."

I just learned about Gemma4.pas at the beginning of this week. Now this. This make me wonder how can inference engines could be built that easy. I'm not knowledgeable in this, but I thought it would take very deep Mathematic and system level knowledge, ... and a lot of patience.

I pressed Ctrl-F and search for some programming language names. So amazed by how popular Python, Typescript, and Rust these days. The day of enterprise Java & C# domination have now gone.
