    Digging further, this has been shown before in 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23337091 The author mentions in the thread that he eventually plans to have a proper licen…

    Now that I think about it, and I don't know if this exists yet, but APL would probably very much benefit from having a Scratch-like or Factorio-like visual editor paired with a tou…

    APL suffers from the same apparent problems as Perl: They have friction coming from an unconventional syntax that's hard to understand without knowing the language beforehand, and …

    Uh, is having Aurora Store as a signatory a good idea? It's literally a Google Play Store bypassing tool.

    Honestly, this sounds like a future headache that would otherwise go unnoticed unless the programmer is dealing with porting or binding over source code meant for older Windows sys…

    Wouldn't that be just QR codes (and equivalents)? I suppose 3D printers can be used to etch/print them onto a durable material and then have it read back using the measuring tools …

    I haven't really looked into this, but is it possible to make GTK4 apps look liek standard GTK2/GTK3 applications? It feels like every single modern GTK app I've encountered has th…

    Why doesn't Zig attract the same sort of lukewarm response that Rust does from parts of communities?
