    Is interesting that this is how array langs work. I bet will be easy to turn into a lib.

    This sound fantastic and Django is the main thing I miss from python. htmx+ tailwindcss is the one combo that is right and I use it so seeing is the direction give me hope. Some no…

    After read, it hit me that because sqlite is a DB, "editions" as-is not work. Because it not tied to the data but to the code. Instead, what I think should be is that the PRAGMAs b…

    I read it as "tensors in programming*. This also happens to "numbers", "integers" and such, because in the computer universe don't exist out math, only a subset(?) variation(?) of …

    Yeah, I think was algebraic + pattern matching that break the ghetto. Suddenly types were far more useful without going crazy like Haskell! P.D: Before, the exposure of types was f…

    LOL! Something I learn doing this stuff +25 years is that support and custom development eat you alive, and is not profitable for small ISV like mine. Sadly, I can't use Fox now so…
