I'm not so sure. I wish it were as you say but there are currently 5600 job postings mentioning Scala on LinkedIn in the USA, vs 82 that mention Clojure. 82! In the entire USA. So even in its state of relative decline, Scala might be about 70 times as used in industry as Clojure is.

Even as I flip through the 7 postings mentioning Clojure in all of Canada, only 4 of them seem to indicate the job itself makes use of the language (rather than mentioning it just as an example language as in "* Fluency in one or more languages like Ruby, Clojure, Scala, ReactJS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python - Deep understanding of internet protocols and standards.")

What about Avro then?

It's interesting you call relationships on Reddit para-social, I don't know if that quite fits the word because Reddit is more of a two-way reciprocal relationship between commenters. Perhaps Twitter fits that description better since you get a lot of power users like Trump and other celebrities which broadcast out to their followers but don't typically respond to normies.

Thank you so much for this, it's great work!

Unfortunately even if you only cared about plants, you would still be better off on a vegan diet because animal agriculture requires order(s) of magnitude more plants to be cultivated than a vegan diet would, on account of it taking many calories of plant feed to produce a calorie of meat.

The food chain is an abstraction that describes the natural world, not a moral agent any more than the water cycle is. Wild animals predate in the wild, yes, but they aren't moral agents. Humans are able to reason about our own actions and more importantly we can live and indeed thrive on a plant-based diet. So since there are ways to get our food other than killing other thinking, feeling, suffering individuals, we aren't forced to do so. We just choose to inflict incomprehensible amounts of suffering on animals not out of necessity but because we like the taste of cow milk slightly more than we like the taste of oat milk, or we love the way their flesh tastes, and would rather eat it than cook a plant-based meal.

We inflict billions of lifetimes of misery and torture on creatures with their own desires and will to live, who feel suffering and pain just as much as we do, in service of an utterly unnecessary and trivial benefit, that while we could live incredibly well, even healthier and with less impact on the environment on a plant-based diet, we like the taste of their flesh and excretions too much to choose oat milk and tofu at the grocery store.

Yes it is wrong! Future generations will look back at our time as with disbelief that we behave like this.

I have to point out the obvious, that this chart doesn't pass the smell test and must have done something really wrong to conclude that in 2021, JS and Python power less websites than Scala.

Really dislike the "written in Rust" suffix all the time...

Why wouldn't companies raise their prices to match demand in the long term?

Would there not be a risk that you may get something working nicely in openjdk and then you go to do a native compilation, and it turns out that it doesn't work due to some new method call which uses reflection or something?

I explored this briefly but it ended up taking about 25 seconds to compile hello-world in Clojure. That struck me as causing a lot of pain to develop for.

That, combined with how you'd lose access to a lot of the java library ecosystem, makes it less appealing to me to develop on.

What do you mean by democratic? Are you thinking of some kind of election system to replace mods, and if so have you seen such a mechanism work anywhere else on forums?

Sorry, to be more precise, I'm seeing in total roughly: - 6.8% old reddit - 5.8% mobile web - 72% new reddit - 15.6% reddit apps

I think it's a common misconception that old.reddit.com is still extremely popular. As a mod of a medium-large sub which should skew highly towards old.reddit.com (developer-focussed content, created at around the beginning of reddit itself), the percent of pageviews on old.reddit.com is right now around 8%.
