I wonder how is the experience writing Rust or Zig with LLMs. I suspect zig might not have enough training data and rust might struggle with compile times and extra context required for borrow checker.

There is a space for learning materials here. I would love to see books/trainings/courses on how to use AI effectively. I am more and more interested in this instead of learning new programming language of the week.
At my current place, using Redis with celery is becoming bottleneck for number of concurrent connections it can hold. We are using 1000 workers and start seeing issues (ceiling is 10k connections in Redis); apparently Celery creates huge number of connections. We are considering moving to RabbitMQ for same reason.

Maybe with examples in Typescript and Rust.
Not Rust or TS, but i found Java to Kotlin a decent book which provides refactoring of java OOP to more functional patterns. One of the authors Nat Pryce was big into OOP design and was also a co-author of famous book Growing Object Oriented Software by Tests.
One of the strengths python has is its ecosystem. All the languages you listed don’t come close to python’s ecosystem except perhaps TypeScript/nodeJS (whose quality of ecosystem is questionable although improving in recent times).
The keyword here is “mutable” config object and not config data object in general. I use immutable config dataclass liberally in one of my python projects and i pass it around in all modules. Many functions rely on multiple values and instead of passing all of them as function parameters (which requires their own function typings), the dataclass has all variables with typing definitions in one place, its pretty handy design pattern.
I am not sure if node is still a viable web backend runtime. When it released originally, it contended with the likes of django, and RoR, but now we have much saner options like Rust, Go, Elixir on backend, I am not sure if the original appeal is there any longer.
Edit: By “saner” option i meant more scalable, performant and maintainable using stricter types.

No it does not. It’s saying that the corporate taxes are volatile and “should” not be relied upon, hence the cautionary tone of the article.
Edit: From the same article
> Peter Vale, a tax partner at Grant Thornton, warned that the figures were “surprisingly poor” and indicated that “the risk of weaker corporation tax receipts in the key month of November increases. Poor November figures could erode much of the planned budget surplus.”
These sweetheart taxation deals should stop in Ireland and other tax havens. It benefits none; although on paper it looks that Ireland is doing too well, the reality is not that rosy for its residents.
