Because he claims you cannot. Pretty much.

Everyone in this thread is going to call out issues with writing a Web application using C.

Refer to the newest Talk Python podcast where a core CPython developer was told that Python is memory safe and his response was “is it?”.

At some point we need to be more sophisticated about this, our hardware is fundamentally unsafe, anything we build on it is fundamentally unsafe and there are degrees to which things are better or worse and that’s it. All that matters is the love, rigour and care you put into your work.

Proceed as you wish, a backend in C is valid a backend in LISP is valid.

That’s great! Because then you’re left with the simple task of raising it up with the government.

Presumably the stress one endures when their way of life is challenged significantly is life changing. Not that you’d care though, by the sounds of it.

Stop editing your ridiculous comment.

Rights are enshrined by society, it’s what we choose. Nothing is a right in and of itself contrary to what your comment tries to imply.

The bubble is about the market you wally not about whether statistical models are useful.

I wish people would stop being so dense.

Are you assuming that I believe the advent of the Internet and LLMs are the same thing?

If you have no critiques about a piece of technology in an area of technology that has existed for less than 10 years I think that speaks for itself.

Python was invented two years before Java and didn’t move the needle until the mid 2010s.

You are the typical mark for hype cycles. Get a clue will you.

Your reading comprehension is awful.

You said “all” as in “all” developers on those projects. You haven’t spoken to all of them to make that claim. You’re just making stuff up. That’s what I was pointing out.

If you are suggesting that we can call the Chromium project a work of LLMs because some developers may or may not be using LLMs on the project it let’s just stop the conversation right here.

This is becoming a classic case of LLM brain rot. I hope you come back to your senses.

Let’s not forget we are talking about a world changing technology here. So when you tell me “some people working on some projects are using it”, I’ll pretend you didn’t say “all” because that’s untrue, you haven’t asked all of them, and the company that got bought out by Anthropic did their “rewrite-in-rust” meme, do you think it’s unreasonable to incredulous?
