Are these new python package managers?
my code setup hasn't changed in 10 years

I tried to use many LLM tools. They are generally not capable of doing anything useful in a real project.

Maybe solutions like MCP, that allow the LLM to access the git history make the LLM become useful for someone that actually works on a project.

another example of a problem that would not exist if there was urban planning (walkable cities) and public transport (trains/bus/etc)
yes! Nice to know that polish also have one!
With BRICS, other currencies may be integrated.

China also have a pix-like wechat Russia has a pix-like "BRICS Pay"

And those systems can be integrated.

PIX QRCode protocol already have a "currency" field, that currently only support the constant value of "BRL"

USA probably will continue to use check and printed money like the ancients do.

Do you use/recommend any FOSS payment system?

I could not find any VISA foss software.

if there is any payment system that MAY be FOSS in the future, it is PIX. Not apple wallet.

PIX are free for persons. Companies may* pay for pix services. My bank (that is not a good bank) charges a fixed amount of 4 BRL (aprox 1 USD) per transaction (to send PIX. not to receive) PIX in "maquininhas" may cost ~1% to the seller.

* may: banks are allowed to charge.

Why are there no Chinese brands in the table? Europeans can't buy chinese cars in europe?

Feels like a brainfuck interpreter version of magic(1), a clojureCLR JIT compiler implemented via macro.

Half of the works are from Taiwan All machines were imported to build the factory. USA can't do anythings without immigrants. China was able to develop its own chip factory without immigrants and without buying machines (because USA blocked the 'free market')

USA lost.

Clojure manages to do improvement to the language, without breaking the users.

Most of improvements are "additions", it is never a "change" or "re-do something better"

It is an awesome experience be able to upgrade the language anytime with no fear or pain.

Re:Clojure 1.12.0 is now available on Friday September 06, 2024 @03:54PM (#41469215)
No changes from clojure.

But from java world: With GraalVM/NativeImage, it is possible to compile (clojure or java) .jar files into native binaries.

Those binaries have a way faster to startup (less than 10ms for non-trivial apps)

Also, lambda engines (like AWS lambda) continuously improve their "java" target, with preloading and other things,which also benefits clojure.

TLDR; clojure startup isn't a thing that needs to be fixed. JVM startup used to be slow. And this is being resolved in the JVM itself.

Note: clojure DEV startup time is still slow-ish. Clojure DEV is usually not AOT compiled and etc. the new "sync deps" feature helps to solve this DEV problem

Reagent is the clojurescript wrapper to react Reagent has the same API and the same best practices since 2014 Meanwhile, react changed from creactClass to extend Class. From classes to function components.

Many clojure libraries are simply done. There is no reason to commit everyday to a project.
