Since we are celebrating 30 years of FreeBSD, I thought some people would be interested in this highly entertaining talk by Kirk McKusick.

I'm very excited about this direction (I'm no JavaScript expert, but I didn't like the huge node_modules directory). I think this is noteworthy:

"We've been running a version of HEY on this stack for a few weeks, and it's a peach (full report and rollout coming soon!). No separate watch process needed for builds, no wrestling with configs, instant reloads, none of the node tooling needed at all, with no overall loss of performance or capability. It's the best of all worlds – for us at Basecamp."

It's an interesting presentation by Jan Krutisch at the 2019 European Ruby conference. He shows how to generate electronic music with pure Ruby.

There's a related web site [1] and all code is on GitHub [2]:
