It's kind of funny but also depressing watching all the frontend people try to force Javascript onto the backend. They've been slowly rewriting their tooling using more suitable languages:
- esbuild (Go) is 100x faster than webpack and friends
- Bun (Zig) and Deno (Rust) are ~2x faster than Node
- Typescript recently announced a rewrite in Go for an expected 10x performance gain
Maybe one day they'll realize that those languages are good for more than developer tooling? Maybe they can even be used for serving web content?
Based on his interview with Joe Rogan, he has absolutely no imagination about what it means if humans actually manage to build general AI. Rogan basically ends up introducting him to some basic ideas about transhumanism.
To me, he is a finance bro grifter who lucked into his current position. Without Ilya he would still be peddling WorldCoin.
