Also what about laws and governments ?
This is a very american perspective IMHO to miss this part of the picture.
Some stuff should be regulated. Especially post of FB/Twitter/ect that are actually provably false and whose diffusion are nothing but a carefully crafted op from a foreign country.
you could be concerned about over-regulation, but currently we are at the opposite side of the spectrum.
Asking FB/Twitter - or any company - to do the right thing and go against its own interest is simply naive.

Rectitude : a procedural generation editor for pixel art and generative art. https://lbarret.itch.io/rectitude
Starting to make cool stuff with it : - https://twitter.com/LBdN/status/1345931367738175488?s=20 - https://imgur.com/a/BJwZFdU

It depends on how you shout. People won't stampede if they trust the leading authority, if there is credibility and competence.

PG wrote very very good books and essays.
But the current PG (esp on twitter) seems to be so far away from this level of quality that I see where you're coming from.

Powerful doesn't mean fast. Python is quite slow but C++ is not powerful enough to make so many things usable without -comparatively- a lot of work.
C++ is very fast and entrenched in a few markets ( gamedev, trading, etc) but that's it. As a language it is quite average, encumbered by too many features, too many corner cases.

This way of speaking is believable for Chinese scientists and militaries. The cop had a very different tone.

I am finishing a procedural generation pixel-art editor, aka you connect nodes to get a rectangles of colour. The cool part is the nodes you use are often other graphs also built with the tool. It is a bit like Houdini but for pixel-art.
It is close to be a niche but solid product. I can reproduce with it a reasonable amount of the pixel-art I see daily. I am currently writing the tutorials for it.

The underlying engine is a restricted functional language and the architecture is based on streams of values. I am quite proud of the architecture because so far, I had very little accidental complexity to manage and that's key for me to stay motivated/productive on the project.

This is false in my experience (more than 10y). Most teams use a linter and a formatter.
The situation is worse in any other language, except maybe golang.

I agree with you but this I am not sure it is the right example. In this case, the position of the zergs would be indirectly a component. You would have arrays of struct Zergs, each would only have a ref (or an index) to an arrays of positions. this array would be updated efficiently.

yes, but that's so minor compared to the gain of a more readable syntax... really an edge case.

I think conflating data structures and objects is bad, and muddle the discussion. An app is mostly a pipeline of functions over an initial data structure.

Such a biased/bad example...
This is a private affair, between the wife, the husband and you.
It can be a concern for the community but it has nothing to do with the government !!!

I am seasoned dev. Over the years, I have built quite a lot of apps from AAA games to small websites. Nowadays, I work mostly web technologies but I also work on a few 3D projects.
I have over 10 years of experience for the most common techs. I am currently learning Haskell because it's fun.
Technologies
* Front-end: reactjs, typescript, css/sass, webpack, npm * Back-end : Django, Flask, SQLAlchemy * 3D / Desktop : Python, PySide/PyQT, OpenGL, C#, Haskell, Delphi
