Funny thing here is that C++ is lumped with C as a small language. This didn't age well.

Why have they created yet another alliance, isn't Khronos group which standardizes similar things(APIs, 3d model standards such as GlTF etc) enough?

Re:India cuts periodic table and evolution from school textbooks

Both public and private schools in India use NCERT books and have the same examinations. Private schools only ensure things are taught better, what is taught is still the same.

Big corporations can force random policies down to employees, while this obviously is bad, it could be worse(push 5-10% of the employees out of the company each year).

Arent Jupyter notebooks the rich source text, are you looking for something similar to be natively supported by the compiler instead of the overhead of a Jupyter process.
Re:Who Will Care for ‘Kinless’ Seniors?

Society as a whole is making "raising kids" harder. Kinless seniors will increase in numbers. I think we will just die for lack of care if we are in this situation 35-40 years later(I am in mid thirties).

No one is asking for hand crafting, we are merely arguing that the absence of runtime environment which abstracts away from CPU's native instruction set.
Hence I mentioned C, C++, Rust. Even GO and Haskell qualify as they are compiled to native instruction set of the CPU on which they run.

JVM is a virtual machine with its own instruction set. Java code is compiled to this instruction set and not the actual's CPUs instruction set, hence not native.

.NET isn't native, doesn't it use the CLR?
Even Java apps shouldn't be considered native as they use JVM.
True native is apps written in C/C++ or Rust that are compiled to run without a virtual machine. I haven't seen any webapps faster than native apps.
