I'm not sure there is anything tying Julia packaging to Github directly other than that that is where some projects are based. There is some integration with git, but any git host should do.

With millions of users across the world, Julia has been used to conduct cutting-edge research and to design new drugs, jet engines, heat pumps, and more.

The two narratives are not mutually exclusive. In contrast to other parts of the world, the English and French would have just divided the territory with arbitrary lines. Why did they suddenly need a buffer zone?

Rather as this history describes, the Thai monarchy and government appears to have modernized (Westernized?) just in time to be able thread a needle between two empires, playing them off each other to maintain independence.

It is worth noting that the word "Thai" has come to mean "free" in the eponymous language. Thailand literally means "land od the free".

Note that this history conveniently ends before World War II.

How is Julia an interpreted language? I sometimes wish there was a robust interpreter for Julia when the compilation latency is not worth the execution speed.

My biggest problem with Jupyter is hidden state. You have no idea what order the cells executed in and how many times to get to the current state. Pluto.jl and Marimo solve that by using reactivity to make state transparent. WYSIWYG.

I have also been thoroughly impressed how Marimo has engaged with AI agents. marimo-pair is fantastic.

Probably not directly but eventually I could see it having some benefits for what you listed.

They found some potential geothermal wells near where they were previously mining.

No, of course not. I am totally not a bot. I just like to connect together unrelated events to see trends at scale.

I think a strategy for Qualcomm would be to use Mojo and Max as a software platform to drive AI inference on ARMv9 chips such as Snapdragon either at the edge (your smartphone) or in the cloud.

> what kind of programming language would a person with as much experience and good taste as Chris Lattner come up with if there were no such external pressures?

Swift

It is not the only solution to that technical problem though. Past attempts at this have shown a clear preference for solutions that actually are extensions of CPython rather than distinct tool chains.
