Speaking of which, I’ve been wondering when the next new batch of interesting languages is gonna appear. Like it’s been ten years since the go/rust cohort came up. A lot of current up-and-coming languages have been up-and-coming for a while, when are we gonna see some fresh faces?

LLM tools are great for bootstrapping things or for doing repetitive work. They do overthink and over complicate things a lot. They just fail at KISS. I'm not worried about them taking away my jobs I guess. At least not yet - as of 3.7 Claude & Grok 3.

Just incredible how often waking up my computer from sleep in 2025 makes it feel as sluggish as it felt in 1995 to do so. We have so much better hardware 30 years later - but software bloat negates the hardware efficiency gains all too often. Sigh.
