This is great. I wanted to prototype some couch co-op games and be able to play them on my Switch 2.

I try to understand what's the criterion, and inferred novelty since the other Nobel prizes seem to be awarded for some novel contributions. As I said, just trying to understand significance.

Never heard of her before, can someone explain the significance? I see that Autobiography of Red is praised for blending different things like translation/novel in verse/essays together, but that doesn't sound like something new? I've read Milorad Pavic's Dictionary of Khazars before, seems like it fits the same description?

I made this tool because whenever I want to do a new project, there is always this awkward step of picking required tooling that has to be installed on the system. I don't want to manage it, and I don't want to keep my local env in sync with CI configuration.

There are many package managers that fill this niche already, like mise and asdf, but they have the same downside: they are a separate installation step you need to do on CI or your machine to work with the project. I wanted something small that you check in and then simply use anywhere, so I built it.

.cmd works in any shell, be it Linux, macOS, or even Windows! And it's designed to be a cross-platform tool downloader and launcher, acting as an entry point to your project's CLI tasks. TBH, I think it's crazy something like this didn't exist before...

It's curl | tar, not curl | sh

Yes, what's the point of JsonObject at all? Why JsonString when there is String? Why JsonArray when there is List? JDK only needs a function to convert from JSON format to the normal data structures it already has and back.

Did we read the same Anthropic and Andrew Kelly's posts? Anthropic is not in the programming language market; their post about rewriting Bun in Rust is full of technical details that led to improving the end product for their users. Zig's response is a sour opinion piece full of personal attacks.

For context, I'm using Codex and have no interest in either Zig or Rust, so just observing this drama from the sidelines.

LMAO I'm not using it. No, I don't allow microphone access.

The implementation uses jextract-generated bindings, so it can be considered a light-weight wrapper around libghostty and a rendering layer that uses JavaFX. Works on Windows too (unlike Ghostty :P)
