What the fuck did I just read?

What an absolute idiotic mishmash of words to throw up.

All remote jobs will be replaced for 2$/hour in 2 years? And then what? We all die and now only 3 companies control all the labor in the world and will hike up their prices to 1000$/h eventually?

What can even be the motive of saying such things if not for profit only?

Let me also recommend babashka and it's task runner too!

If my tasks are simple enough, bash or make will do but for serious projects, specially lispy ones, babashka is amazing.

I like the idea of astro, but never really used it. My main concern is. Does v7 mean that there have been 7 breaking changes thus far? So if I started my project on v1, I had to revise it 6 times to date?

If yes, then this instability is a serious concern to me.

Sidenote: Although JSON is very common, I argue EDN is the best data format out there.

True. But for things that they all can do, normal scripting (replacing bash/powershell, etc.), creating CLI and TUI apps, I would like to do a comparison of them. 1. which one is more pleasant to write 2. which one has the better echo system and tooling 3. performance benchmarks 4. portability

Jobs and market have a huge factor of 1. politics 2. synergy

Almost the only reason that python is popular and people do everything with it is synergy. The only reason that javascript is eating the world and any web dev has to know it, and people do everything with it is synergy.

A big reason for C# to have popularity is because it's for Microsoft (politics).

These are just some examples. Being used doesn't mean anything.

There were and still are a ton of PHP jobs. You tell me, is it because PHP is a great language and solves our problems? No, because it has synergy.

If you're good enough, you can pretty much choose what language/framework you work in.

This is a great comparison and I've been wondering about it for a while.

Between babashka, janet(i discovered it just now), fennel, guile. Which one would be a better scripting language? Please tell me you experience, and if you are interested, we can work on a small article and benchmark about this.

> Ali Shariati, Ahmed Fardid, and Jalal Al-e-Ahmad - the three pillars of modern Iranian philosophy and culture

This just shows how bad the situation for our philosophy and culture have become in the last century...

I really wouldn't call these charlatans "pillars of modern Iranian philosophy and culture"

Hi, writer of the post here.

Love to hear your opinions and further guidance on this matter.

Also, if the website is not available, it's because of another blackout :)

Am I too dumb? I literally understand none of this.
