of all my "future of proglang" bets I think I was both most incorrect and most despondent about Elm.

is Elm effectively dead? i haven’t been paying attention and just now noticed last commits are very old. curious what happened there (i presume burnout but maybe there’s more to it?)

kind of absurd, these vibe coded vapor proglang projects with own snazzy website that keep popping up everywhere. the way you made this communicates coding is dead and yet you expect me to code in this?

i was recently watching a friend stream himself learning a proglang by making claude on learning prompt give him codecrafters style step by step project and im now pretty confident if youre not braindead and use it like a TA and not a homework machine learning stuff is just way easier now

and no, this is not _tremendously_ unusual. I assume I'm probably on the higher end of that because I'm particularly nerdy about proglang theory/compiler stuff, but many of my peers know a good number of languages.
As a Rust nerd, I also think Rust is really fun and you should definitely try it! 🦀

Pour resources into memory safety (Fil-C), capability access control (Endo, Cloudflare OS, Fil-C again, LavaMoat, CHERI), formal-verification/high-assurance (Lean4, Quint, everything that they used in tachyon.z.cash/blog/ironwoo...), safer proglang, and cryptography.
Formal Verification of Zcash Ironwood Completed — Project Tachyon
Ironwood's supply soundness now rests on machine-checked proofs, not just carefully reviewed and audited code.

*grins* I like any of 'em. Loved 'em, really. Too much. Had my 1st seizure while coding. I don't recall what proglang I was using when it happened. Just know I started at 6am that morning and everything went sideways around noonish. A bad day. Lotta ghosts that day. Stroked out relatives, all.

"We should get rid of declaration matches usage" YEEAAAH!
Unfortunately, the Hates-C person is playing spoiler: "That's a new language. That's not C anymore!" And he's right! But ooooooOOOOH we gotta get rid of that shit, it's A W F U L. Worst design decision of any proglang!!!
