Currently working as a Software Engineer at Cloudflare on Workers (and particularly on Python Workers). Previously at Meta.
Since 2010 I have been involved with building the Nim programming language, as well as many tools and libraries for it. I have also published a book about Nim called Nim in Action.
These days I'm working on various personal projects- some big, some small. Most recently https://onlyhumanhub.com, https://listifications.app and https://mousetrack.co.uk
Reminds me of another language that I used to know...
For real though, if your goal as a language isn't to become popular then why should anyone learn it? Why should anyone spend their limited time building libraries in it when the language isn't likely to grow (and thus is more likely to disappear)?
I know you said you don't care to know. But for others wondering: being professional is important because it reduces conflict. Having a leader of the language personally insult someone like this makes the community feel that it is okay to insult others in the community too.
Personally I find it hard to believe that a community isn't toxic when their leader acts in this way.
Agreed. This article should have stuck to the cold facts, rather than a series of personal criticisms that you wouldn’t see written out in the workplace.
Sadly there are far too many open source developers out there who are far too comfortable writing like this. It’s one reason I have stopped being active in open source. You would be fired (or at least disciplined) from any reasonable workplace if you acted like this.
What evidence do you have for this? It doesn't pass the sniff test: why would anyone buy a game for full price when they can get it for far less by just grabbing a cheaper subscription? (that they can cancel any time)
Nice, thanks for sharing! I'm definitely hoping to make use of the determinism for my netcode, if you have any useful write ups about that I'd be interested to read more.
I've had the same experience with my PS5. It wouldn't even let me play 007 First Light a few weeks ago because it needed to update the system. Starting to wonder if I should/could just keep it offline to stop it from updating incessantly.
Funny to see this just a few days after I’ve started building a Tron-like 3D game for the browser using Jolt[1]. So far Jolt is working pretty well but I’ll certainly be taking a look at this.
If the EU actually mandates each member country implements a ZKP for this then I am all for it.
Can they also provide other ZKPs? Specifically to attest that someone is a unique human being? Humanity verification is incredibly important to fight against propaganda online[1]
But as someone that has been in a similar situation to you, I understand it's tough to end up building something big with someone who's politics you do not agree with. I would seriously urge you to consider building something new that rejects this kind of politics explicitly.
