This is what Knuth made TeX for! art!

I'm wondering who published "Attention is All You Need" and brought this devastation to Google... Oh I remember, it was Google.

Jobs getting cooked in the grave...

> The second thing is that GT got really slow with all the data structure re-interpreting and rerendering.

Ironically enough, I was thinking about the same thing in the morning of the day I replied to you, that gives the amount of data JS provides in the runtime, do we really need Smalltalk for a live system? I agree with you fully.

I guess something about me doesn't want to accept that BB can be a superior GT!

I was talking at around a year ago with Tudor Girba and asked him what is his opinion towards AI---I somehow believed it to be conflicting with his world view, but then he showed me some amazing demos of llms walking inside of the GT, making tools and molding it. It was way before these new agentic plugin-based IDEs.

I think Girba's really amazing idea of "language = ui = software = data" has a huge win in terms of AI that is not used anywhere else (maybe only in Chris Granger's Eve), but to work with data and build live on it, is something way better than BB.

Anything is infinitely more cute and beautiful when its LEGO :))))))))

This is kind of hacker news post and comments I like; extreme languages on extreme performance with extreme features, not types being added to a language ten gizzilion times slower than a tortoise and the post making anti-type flat-earthers getting freaked out if they have to vaccinate next.

Exactly.

This is the best news ever! I can't believe it was implemented in just one year after that blogpost... Boy I'm going to be spending good portions of my life making with this API...

Don't be evil, have higher expectations, run the hell.

Someone finally did this, wow! 2026 just keeps getting more crazy.

Is there really anything but two Trump administrations go blame this on? In really curious.

Rails is slow, and it has little tooling. If it was me I would have used Go so that compiler would give the LLM some errors and narrow its error window, is way faster than Ruby and makes way more sense to have a way faster code than a slow one for the same price, everyone can read Go code and it is so narrow in the possible space of decisions that an LLM can never write usual spaghetti that it writes in other languages to save tokens... I think the problem is in looking at Rust as the alternative.

That is just so stupid...

Yeah, but their treatment was terrible.
