> so many examples of PE destroying

PE is short for PRIVATE equity, there are no public shareholders in PE, no share price. When I critique that people here often don't understand basic things about the economy this is what I mean.

>That assumes that people are playing a long game

What are you talking about? Shareholders are looking for sustainable projections of growth. Killing a bunch of people will tank your stock which is how executives get paid. You really need to think beyond their first thought o nstuff like this.

> There's a long list of people throughout history who do not have this caution at all.

None of them run pharmaceutical companies.

>You seem to be taking a theoretical economics approach. Reality is different

No I'm describing reality and you're arguing from populism.

> Profit-driven industry makes extremely perverse incentives

People who are specialists in something other than economics often make this argument but it's often a very weak argument, IMO. Liability means that you are incentivized to be quite cautious in pushing a potentially dangerous product. Particularly with pharmaceuticals a class action can be easily and successfully argued in court. Moreover, a relatively small number of dangerous flops will tank your reputation with consumers. I would also add that you can't make any more money selling drugs to people you have killed.

The worst money incentive for drug manufacturers is that market forces push them towards recurring treatments for diseases that effect a large number of people. However that seems less than perverse to me.

I would imagine it’s because social media is ineffective at changing people’s votes by itself.

It is a lot easier, but I've been working on this language project for almost 8 months now. I've spent a lot of time in research papers and thinking about both dev UX and how it works with LLMs. Knocking together a working compiler on LLVM is WAY easier now, but making something nice is still hard. A language is so much more than a compiler and syntax. So to your point, standing out is incredibly hard.

I'm doing this because it interests me and I'm learning, but it does feel quixotic at times.

I looked closely at Crystal when it first got popular but they removed the REPL which for me made Elixir a better choice.

These dams are in the north east, those industries moved to the south long before moving to Asia. My grandmother worked in one of those mills that moved south during WWII. Many moved even deeper south after legally enforced segregation ended.

Thanks! I’ll take a look tomorrow.

*edit it seems like I need an invite.

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

I'm not in touch with him, but I have looked at Chorex. I was hoping to see him at ElixirConf but I had to change my plans last minute. Have you used Chorex?

That's pretty neat. I love the things I see people doing like this where they build up some cool functionality behind a nice and straightforward syntax.

Yeah, claude can get pretty far into language projects on 1 million tokens.

I just saw your reply! give me a shout when you release it.
