That doesn't seem likely, given that there's a reference from February 2025 documenting the pattern.

What was wrong with it?

> There is a vast, hugely funded, and incredibly adept propaganda machine aimed at about half the country.

There are propaganda machines directed at everyone.

> And no, I don’t think “my side” would be immune to a similar machine speaking the language we like to hear, but I just think that hasn’t happened (yet)

It seems incredibly naive to believe that propaganda in this age isn't utilised by all "sides". My base assumption for any information, particularly from mainstream media, is that it's biased one way or the other.

I found it very amusing :)

I've never seen Prolog used at all in the wild, but OPA (and its ancestor, Datalog) are fairly common.

Unfortunate! I have a bunch of keyboards and a FILCO is my favourite, my daily driver. It just feels ... solid.

From skimming the linked PR it looks like it's all been open source, but has been tightly coupled to their deployed instance. The PR appears to be decoupling things completely by making all hard coded values configurable.

Someone else said this below...

> Go designers distinguish between Go language as defined by Go spec and implementation details. > //go:fix is something understood by a particular implementation of Go. Another implementation could implement Go without implementing support for //go:fix and it would be a fully compliant implementation of Go, the language. > > If they made it part of the syntax, that would require other implementations to implement it.

...I'm not sure I buy that argument TBH.

That is...disturbing.
