And so on and so forth. Every paragraph, every sentence was transparently written by an LLM (sounds like Claude to me). It's difficult to get interested when the humans involved couldn't even be bothered to write down their own thoughts and make them coherent (and much of this text isn't, though it appears so at a glance).

As for the locus concept (https://aperio-lang.github.io/aperio/concepts/the-locus.html), the entire page reads like one of those LLM fever dreams in which it can't stop praising an idea you've pasted into the chat window. It's a kitchen sink primitive that codifies a specific architectural pattern. It's a program structure that probably fits the kind of problem the author has been seeing a lot lately.

Compiler artifact is still deterministic. Clearly not referring to runtime behavior that is input-dependent

Deterministic compilation, aka reproducible builds, has been a basic software engineering concept and goal for 40+ years. Perhaps you could provide some examples of compilers that produce non-deterministic output along with your bad news.

> I'm coming to the view that Rust mostly requires less cognitive load than other languages.

This view is only remotely within the bounds of plausibility if you intended for "other languages" to refer exclusively to languages requiring manual memory management

> DevOps was a reaction to the fact that even outsourcing ops to AWS doesn’t entirely solve all of your ops problems

DevOps, conceptually, goes back to the 90s. I was using the term in 2001. If memory serves, AWS didn't really start to take off until the mid/late aughts, or at least not until they launched S3.

DevOps was a reaction to the software lifecycle problem and didn't have anything to do with AWS. If anything it's the other way around: AWS and cloud hosting gained popularity in part due to DevOps culture.
