Yes, but with a lower income number.

Here's a recent interview with Ghostty's creator about its philosophy, goals etc. https://alexalejandre.com/interviews/interview-with-mitchell...

Another article on this topic https://alexalejandre.com/programming/no-end-of-programming-...

Here's an interview with it's maker: https://alexalejandre.com/interviews/interview-with-john-ear...

I've shipped a few things to clients with it in the past 5 years.

> considering the creator of Fennel

Techomancy is Fennel's maintainer, but Calvin Rose created it (and then Janet). Here are interviews with both:

> I think user just use their agents to code, and agents don't report bugs, they just work it around somehow.

It's quite a pity, preventing us from improving our model of the domain, from Naurian theory building and presenting a perfected API etc.

Amazing review! I loved the tie in to duty.

I have seen small parts of the On Pain quote before, thinking they were different parts from Spengler, interesting.

If you oppose them, it'd be good to understand them instead of being shocked about straw men. If you'd like to understand them, it's very easy to find their media and thought leaders sharing eg. demographic data. "Remigration" is the key term, now.

UK has some of the highest costs of power in the world. There's a lot of demand destruction there, a lot of industries left. due to high costs.

Tk works well with Janet. I have a working GUI library.

Check out https://codeberg.org/veqq/varray implementing APL primitives on tarray (so should be a magnitude faster than the cffi approach), which powers https://codeberg.org/veqq/declarative-dsls which exposes a fair bit of statistics stuff (I have a financial analysis library built on top of it in prod, which I'll try to open source soon) besides logic features

There is also https://codeberg.org/zzkt/deft/ for typing things.

And spork/sh does sh

I invite you to: https://janet.zulipchat.com/ (n.b. there's a very active chat channel)

There are nice APL- and J-based math books with this approach. APL's inventor's main goal was improving mathematics instruction.

Have you ever looked into APL or BQN?

Alas, the comments evince how almost none of the commenters read the article.

> advantages in more local industry and self-reliance against an increasingly unstable global oil market

What do you mean? Brazil's an oil exporter. The sugar-based stuff's only economically feasible because of EU subsidies flowing into Brazil.

> Good interview, informative and reveals something of the character of the individual. Better writing than typical for interviews of this sort.

Thank you!

Biofuels are basically green washing. While sugar-based is better than corn-based, Brazilian biofuel is mostly just turning EU subsidies into profit, by converting petrol into sugar-based biofuel to burn instead of burning the petrol directly. Very unfortunate.

> The user space is the easy part. A historical issue defining our computer landscape is that modern kernels try really hard to provide the illusion of a blocking API. You write a file, which takes time then you continue when it’s done. This is smoke and mirrors, this isn’t how hardware works at all! It’s always fire and forget: Write this, here’s a region of memory, wake me up when it’s over. It’s fundamentally asynchronous. The OS provides these thread and process abstractions which make you think the API’s blocking. The horrible side effect’s that language designers get an out of jail card for async programming, they don’t have to think about it! When writing to a file, they don’t need to make sure the bytes aren’t moved during the operation while running something. No, you just bind to the POSIX API and enjoy this blocking world illusion. - Matklad https://alexalejandre.com/interviews/interview-with-matklad/

The author was on Top Tradders Unplugged 2 weeks ago, giving a nice hour long summary, which inspired me to read the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsOUuihvpzs

Claude Roux uses a refined version:

> LLMs have a lot of knowledge but few competencies. If you constrain them to output knowledge and use that to further constrain results, you’ll go far. For context management, I have the system generate `log.jsonl` and `log.py` (which queries the other document). Whenever an action is processed (an error’s corrected etc.) the system adds something to `log.jsonl`. If it needs to know what happens, it uses `log.py` to query and display only the relevant/required information (like a date, errors or attempted fixes) reducing tokens. - https://alexalejandre.com/interviews/interview-with-claude-r...

Totally unrelated, you had a comment about scripting languages using sqlite allowing them to query arrays, do joins on vars and stuff https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42342329

Lindy effect
