Gleam is a popular language amongst people who like Erlang or Elixir. They are both built for the BEAM virtual machine.
replyTangled is a decentralized GitHub alternative built on ATProto (the same protocol as Bluesky)
It gives "Bleeb is now Scrumple! Snap me on Simpr! We're excited to share that Gringl will merge with Jigglify!"
replyHeadline reminds me of Poob.
replyThe fact that I know what both Gleam and Tangled are in this context means I spend too much time on HN and not enough time doing useful things.
replyThis isn't true. I knew what gleam was (though do not use it) and what tangled was already (and I do use it), and this announcement is new information to me.
replyThe irony of that linked page dragging a reposted mid tweet into multiple scrollable pages of “content” and in doing so reading exactly like a celeb news article
replyI think it would only be irony if it was guilty of the same issue it's complaining about in celeb news: not sufficiently explaining the context. If anything, it's too exhaustive.
replyYeah, it turns out human culture has a lot of depth and complexity, even so-called "mid" culture. If you think you can write a better explainer, I'd love to read it.
replyI absolutely could, by removing everything past the first 3-5 sentences in the article. But that probably wouldn’t satisfy the site owner’s desired metrics and SEO targeting.
replyActually that means they did a great job of writing a BLUF article. If you only care about the most basic details, you're free to click away after reading the first paragraph. They didn't even mess with my history, a very low bar many similar websites fail to clear. You only need to scroll down if you want more background and context.
replyI mean, you could. I've read your blog and it's quite well-written, not only just better-than-know-your-meme. Thank you btw, some really nice reads there.
replyYeah it should definitely start with a bit of explanation, perhaps, it should start with what this site (hn, aka, hackernews) is even about!
replyI have zero idea what your link has to do with the original post, which seems to just be the Gleam language on some new version control host?
replyExactly, even if one doesn't know about either of these things (gleam & tangled), all it would take is one or two searches or even better they just visit the homepage. I suppose people have become so used to reading llm generated bluff that simple things don't appeal/make sense to them anymore.
replySo is it true that JESTERMAXXING at the club is the new meta?
