you're ignoring the economic context. Languages don't exist in a vacuum.

Apple would never do that, since a lot of free alternatives are always there. Scala and Kotlin are both very close.

sooner or later this was gonna happen. Swift is like Haskell, but nicer and more programmer-friendly.

I had been a non-contributing reader (only short-term) on SO when I decided to write answers. The whole thing reeked of a mild version of The Lord of the Flies-esque sophomorism.

The toxicity was too much for me. On HN, when a toxic entity points their sting at me, at least their comment gets flagged within 24 hours. No such thing on SO. The moderators themselves are toxic as batshit.

Updated comment: Ghost is better than Hugo. I am moving my site to Ghost (and because it's drudge work, assigning it to Claude).

I was sleepy and didn't realize in my original comment that Ghostty and Ghost are different.
