so, which "fringe" language should i try out next?

if someone has any other recommendations, i'd like to hear them. it should be something with real-world use (so maybe a bit older), and a free software compiler/interpreter.

@bugaevc@mastodon.technology @alexbuzzbee iirc it actually was a design goal of go to have multiple implementations with the specification being "the reference", not a single reference implementation and then retroactively changing the specification because of things the reference implementation does.

i think TCL/Tk is too often overlooked as something ancient and of no use today. i can only recommend everyone interested in programming to take a look at it. it's really much more clean than many other languages wrt how well it has kept to its principles over time. the "everything is a string" thing really works, compared to the dynamic typing of other more popular languages. there is a lightweight gui toolkit which is surprisingly powerful and again rather comfortable to use. one thing missing are some more native modern web libraries, but there are some wrappers around for common c libraries. other libs are just really nice like tdom.org for xml/json/etc. processing.

The reality is that we are not in the grips of a battle for generational supremacy - rather, we're fighting a class war.

The rich - old, young and middle-aged - set the world on fire. High savings cause low interest rates, to be sure, but the savings - like all forms of wealth - are in the hands of the rich, not the old.

@ij tbh, i haven't seen this in about a year.

the problem is that crypto is hard, and you can only throw a certain amount of UI glitter onto it. it doesn't make it an easier problem if you want it to stay secure.

matrix gives you encrypted multi-device group-chats, nobody else has those.
