imho it would make more sense to rewrite to golang with a stronger production ready standard library.

I guess the illustrations for the article were made with ai - they are all different styles visually. I like it allmost all the way through, gives a nice fuzzy ai edge to the feel, until 55% done then it starts to feel too weird.

it's also possible to get a little better results by cheating a little bit with the error distribution, Ulichneys ξ1 and ξ2 as in "Simple gradient-based error-diffusion method" Journal of Electronic Imaging jul/aug 2016.

absence of signal is not a good indicator of operation. it is the same signal as total failure of your system.

erlangs bit matching syntax, case statements for structs... incredibly elegant. I don't know about Rust or Lua, maybe they have this too.

well, emacs, or terminal usage in general on a mac with the control key not on edge of keyboard is extremely unergonomic. So yay to control in the right place.

The core language is good enough but the object oriented stuff they put on top later on is just a hell of an eyesore.

Sure it takes a while to load and there's bloat, but the bloat is everywhere now.

On the bad site of the JVM and assorted Java tools is that they are second class citizens of the unix world. The command arguments are all messed up, much like a windows tool ported to unix, and the interaction with the rest of the unix stack like sockets, files are all solipsistic and off, which leaves an ill stink on everything touched by it.

One of the things I find funny with java is the once upon a time much touted security model, fast forward a couple of years and the event of android - using the unix security model and none of the java stuff.

OK I got calmer, but then I got stressed out! the blue circle is not in the center of the black ring.

Wow! The center of the maze. Now it's just a matter of time before clojurescript is self hosted and the Eschaton is Immanentized.
