Windows support has been a target since 2013. That's too long for me to put any credibility in projections on when it will be generally released.

I am happy for most software to move from C into almost anything else. Something unlikely to have memory exploits, or with standardized tooling for dependency management and compilation.

You would also need a Notebook equivalent REPL for fast iteration.

Nim and Crystal feel like they are in exactly the same space? GC, fast, single executable compilation without runtime (I would also throw Go into this list).

It is a resource strapped project. I doubt they have the bandwidth to throw in additional languages. Plus, Lua is perfect for this niche: small, easily embeddable, fast, and simple enough to pick up in an hour. There are even a variety of languages which can transpile down to Lua.

Ditching some of the POSIX missteps is half the appeal of fish.

So many great features in this release. Love the .args and subprocess support. I have been toying with redbean on and off, and I have been wanting to see if I could kludge together a poor man's long running job (scheduled) runner (something like Celery).

Also, why is redbean.dev not ported to 2.0?

I am still waiting for a seL4 based router, firewall, DNS server, file server, etc. Even better if we could get it into critical infrastructure (water treatment, electricity, etc). Something that is exposed to the insanity of the internet, but may not necessarily have high performance requirements. We have super computers in our pockets, we can take some performance hit if it eliminates large security concerns.

Specifically targeting compounds is an active area of research. Example: all oncotherapies are essentially just poison. The trick is to deliver the toxin to the 0.001% of cells in the body that are cancerous.

It is amusing you should say ways that avoid reaching the brain. The blood-brain barrier impedes a large number of therapeutics from entering the brain. It is incredibly difficult to engineer the constraints of something that: is potent enough to have an effect, can survive in the blood, cross into the brain, targets the cells of interest, has a meaningful half-life, does not decompose into something toxic, etc.

Does the snap store server process still still use 300+ MB of memory? That alone would seem to disqualify it for IOT or other embedded use cases.

Linux barely works as it is. I no longer have any interest in debugging my desktop technical problems. Which means my best option is to use the most popular environment so when I do encounter an issue, there is likely to be someone who has already encountered the same issue and reported a solution.

Until Ubuntu switches to KDE, I am stuck in the Gnome-lets-remove-desktop-icons-because world.

Ehhhhh, I'm a Python guy, and I find all of the Python Shiny alternatives lacking. Shiny delivers an incredible amount of value per line of code. My experiments with Dash and Streamlit required a lot more boilerplate to get something running vs the R equivalent.

So what happens if you takeoff in state A with fuel requirement X and land in state B with fuel requirement Y?
