It is here in HN that I first heard Pablo Neruda's "No culpes a nadie". Even though a fan of Neruda I somehow had missed this. Perhaps this speaks to you something too:

        ## Don't Blame Anyone

 Never complain about anyone, nor anything,
 because basically you have done
 what you wanted in your life.

 Accept the difficulty of improving yourself
 and the courage to start changing yourself.
 The triumph of the true man emerges from
 the ashes of his mistake.

 Never complain about your loneliness or your
 luck, face it with courage and accept it.
 In one way or another it is the outcome of
 your acts and the thought that you always
 have to win.

 Don't be embittered by your own failure or
 blame it on another, accept yourself now or
 you'll keep making excuses for yourself like a child.
 Remember that any time is
 a good time to begin and that nobody
 is so horrible that they should give up.

 Don't forget that the cause of your present
 is your past, as well as the cause of your
 future will be your present.

 Learn from the bold, the strong,
 those who don't accept situations, who
 will live in spite of everything. Think less in
 your problems and more in your work and
 your problems, without eliminating them, will die.

 Learn how to grow from the pain and to be
 greater than the greatest of those
 obstacles. Look at yourself in the mirror
 and you will be free and strong and you will stop
 being a puppet of circumstances because you
 yourself are your own destiny.
 
 Arise and look at the sun in the mornings
 and breathe the light of the dawn.
 You are part of the force of your life;
 now wake up, fight, get going, be decisive
 and you will triumph in life. Never think about
 luck because luck is
 the pretext of losers.

I wish I could give you a thumbs up for speaking plain truth here. Anyway programmers will find out for themselves how best to satisfy their customer need.

Nim is a languge that has good performance and I had good experience porting an enterprise Python application to Nim (for performance gain). For a new user the risk obviously is the newness of Nim but the Nim team was very helpful and prompt whenever I posted a question. Its a very complete and surprisingly issue-less language.

Hopefully Arraymancer will help increase its reach, I wish the implementors all the best.

OP likes Swift and he compared it to other languages Python, Go, C++ & Rust, Julia. In the enterprise sphere that I am in, I haven't seen Swift and its hard to move a team in this direction at this point.

Python already drives a significant market and captured talent in numerical differentiable programming, particularly because of the ease with which prototyping and tuning is done with it. Obviously when we want to scale we have the conversation on some other option.Personally its a bit frustrating that Go support for TensorFlow or one of the competitors is not quite satisfactory and this is surprising, I can't explain it.

Instead of inventing any new language why don't one of you -- Python, Go, C++ & Rust, Julia, or Swift -- complete the job with end-to-end differentiable programming. 'Complete' to me means a language level seamless GPU (or related distributed/parallel architecture) and language level deployment ease (the kind of thing done with Kubernetes) and integration with embedded hardware.

Written form please. This saves time in many ways, such as searching for certain chunks of information when trying to form an early opinion on how this product fits one's need. I went through your dev documentation today and the organization is good. I wish you would present the more detailed booking example in the same conversational style as the shorter hello world example at start. When a developer sees the first page with the bullets of interesting features (service discovery, load balancing, etc), they would want to get a broader picture of the architectural approaches combining these features (through coding examples). Interesting work. Thanks for creating it.

Isn't it Go?

I don't miss generics either, not in the least. The interface system, Go's particular approach to it, takes me a long way ...

I won't ask for any new feature for today or tomorrow. But for day after tommorow, within a longer time research horizon, I wonder whether compiled and distributed Go applications can be made to interact along the lines of interfaces within an application now. May be its my struggle with Kubernates (as a newbie) that makes me want: Can there be secure language mechanisms supporting clustering, scheduling etc in a distributed enviroment with an external agent armed only with prior package interface definitions of a deployed Go application.

Please don't sacrifice performance, and fast compilation times. That module system is looking good!

Thank you. Software poetry they are to me.

And this one: > met Googler wife

I have no doubt about what you say. I had a really broken laptop that my 3rd grader happily tookover as his laptop, a linux machine mind you, about which he knew nothing about. I showed him how to open a terminal and use some bash commands, and how to invoke the Python interpreter and import a turtle graphics module. He was hooked and had lots of fun moving the turtle around (along with the incentive to learn some math at his level). I remember the day he walked to school with this duck taped laptop on a show and tell day, which ended up with the school's IT departement making Python available on all computers in that elementary school lab. I don't think he could have pulled this off in lisp. Beautiful language Lisp,but I don't see how I could have helped with graphics programming within an hour or so -- which was all what he was interested in.

I am also thinking along these lines but not sure about reasonable paths to try. Care to share some pointers on your setup? Basically looking to serve web pages from a server cluster at home.

Similar to books, growing up in India I discovered “Western” music because of pirated music. The one and only reason I heard of bands like Yes, Jethro Tul, Roxy Music, Steely Dan, Dylan, Joni Mitchell, or St. Martin in the Fields, etc. are the pirated copes moving from hand to hand among our school buddies. There was no way we could have afforded the orginal copies from the publishers.

Well the clocks ticked, I came here for graduate school and but the time I got my first job, over a period of time I had instinctively purchased all the original CDs and Box Sets of these and many other artists, about 1000 of them on my shelf. When I exchange notes with with my old buddies, some in Canada and some in England, they have more extensive collections than me. For one weak immitation of a Gibson lookalike guitar we had, we own a small stable of the real things by now :-)

The pirated copies that hooked us to the artists in the first place. I hate to steal from the artists I so much adore, but then shouldn’t there be a way to spread the music around.
