What about loco.rs?

Strict typing can enforce proper composition from models to the request responses.

Rust is a high AND low level lego due to type composition and ability to directly address memory with no hacky garbage collection required.

Garbage collection is a bad idea when your state machine is basically a stateless request response cycle that can fit in n stack frames and has a defined lifetime ending in the response.

Interpreted languages calculate runtime code paths on an ad-hoc basis and are subject to bugs that a binary executable will never encounter.

One can objectively state that Interpreted languages and their virtual machines are LESS DETERMINISTIC than binary executables whose runtime code already exists at compilation time.

Of course, shared libs and other things that violate the spirit of the above can wreak havoc with even binaries, however the executable is a finite artifact.

Another false dichotomy is server rendered vs single page app, when the happy place is both. One builds a bundle to embed in a server rendered page, as distinct from other bundles served up with other distinct pages. Ones rollup file would have an array of build objects, input output params. The user doesn't have to wait an eternity to download a monolithic single page app bundle. One doesn't get brain damaged by trying to maintain a monolithic state in a giant monolithic blob of javascript, urls work again, routing is returned to the server, and you could use a different framework on each page if you want to, thats how little it matters at that point.

Why is no one mentioning embedding a js bundle in an htmx rendered page?

What a weird human mistake to create such a false dichotomy. Don't tell me longboard surfers aren't dancers. Lessons schmessons, move your body and learn how to control its movements to better express yourself and better manipulate it with respect to its context, whether in water, suspended from a giant sash, or rolling on a wooden floor.

Garbage collection screams: "look elsewhere if true brutalism is what you seek; maybe C or Pascal deserve that mantle more than a high level language like Go."

Perhaps Apple should take a hint that no one wants so-called AI features training on a device with intimate access to their lives.

Whatever the final reality of feature availability, the conceptual damage had been done: Apple was bandwagon leaping and we had no choice.

I will never buy another Apple device for other reasons, not least of which are the short support period and ever increasing enshittification of the operating system.

I have not been a fan of anything developed since roughly steve jobs passing. Touch bar?! No thanks.

The truth of the matter is that i see the light and insist upon a world where open source software, standards compliance, and end user choice MATTER, and matter more than corporate profits for an already too large and corrupt behemoth.

Apple is a company, not your friend

Stop using Google Analytics and your need to place cookies and thus need for cookie popups vanishes.

Goatcounter or Plausible will do fine. Some decent frontend log parsing will also be a viable strategy.

Stop feeding Google your customers data for free.

In other words, i dont think deliberately induced scarcity in windows would increase demand for windows, if anything we will breathe a collective sigh of relief and move on.

I hope they do. I'm tired of seeing that windows malware preloaded onto all the non-apple laptops.

I am completely fed up with OEM presumption that broken Windows shall forevermore be what computers come preinstalled with.

Windows has been broken since XP and linux desktop has been usable for decades now.

I refuse to buy more computers preloaded with windows or built with ANY consideration of what incompetent Microsoft want.

Why do we accept being spat upon and treated like basement bums when we put our money on the table???

But i would wager that astronomical societies were rather unfond of alien conspiracy buffs, so the feeling is likely mutual, as evidenced by this piece here. Hand wringing aside, one boring trope i am unfond of is this notion of a virtuous anti intellectual lower class of common folk gosh darnit... That is an elite pretension that smells like Rousseaus "noble savage"

The last 20 years makes me question glib use of the word "elites" to refer to any arbitrary collection of individuals not necessarily based upon their wealth or whatever imagined social status the person invoking the word wishes to convey, with regards to said arbitrary collection of individuals.

You basically vomited a series of pop cultural phrases and managed to paint a clear picture with them, but i question your very mental boxes.

They arent even en route.

It's a bubble

Those of us who aren't Adobe salespeople have less incentive to care about keeping feature parity with a predatory cloud-subscription-pushing entity.

Some of us see decadence driving many features on mature graphics applications, coupled with rentseeking on 30 year old code. If it's NOT 30 year old code, why is it seeking to replace funcioning code? Rentseeking.

I find GIMP satisfactory for my remaining raster graphic needs. I prefer vector graphics applications for anything that is not a photograph...
