  • Not really, it has a couple of niche uses mainly because people externalised the cost of coming up with a good analytical solution to their data processing problem (e.g. medical imaging analysis) which would be vastly more efficient and give insight into the underlying mechanisms, but that would cost grant money rather than VC capital and further externalised energy and environmental costs which are finally born by us, the taxpayers. Ultimately the technology as a whole is delivering very little value and like all hype bubbles mainly serves as a way of further enriching billionaires. But text generator go brrrrr

  • What do you mean? You can just make some react/typescript template and fastapi server thing, or any of dozens of equivalents, extremely quickly. I'm by no means an expert on web stuff as I develop software for controlling machines, but we used the above for some internal services in my last job and I could get a clean and functional site running in a day with no prior experience. I get that for public facing stuff you'll have some higher requirements but I couldn't imagine those wouldn't apply just because you're coding in PHP...

  • but even if we had enough of that, there’d still be mentally ill people and drug addicts that would prefer to live on the street

    How about we get there first and then you can hand wring about any of these supposed people who are left?

  • I think it's just what you're used to. Imo it really matters that it's keywords and not operator symbols - it's meant to read closer to natural language. I prefer the c version when it's ? and :, but I like them this way round when it's if and else.

  • I think they're probably Finnish given the "Apple (Suomi)" tab in one of the screenshots, and their incredibly Finnish last name on Mastodon. They don't read right to left in Finland. Fair enough, Finnish isn't read right to left.
