Prototype is in Racket.
what a disaster we have ahead of us not because AI but because this kind of thinking
I don't think this really applies to any of the benefits I've described there:
> AI can replicate a lot of its features in Rust for one-tenth of the cost and 10 times the speed
Of course, Lisps also seem to have the property of attracting people who genuinely like the practice of programming and, if it clicks with you, it has the property of generally leaving you really excited to write more of it. If you're hauling up and spending real American dollars to spend a weekend packed in a hall full of nerds to chat about a niche programming language, you're probably in that group. Consequent to that, it'd be a mighty small-minded thing to wonder what the point of joy is, when you could just be managing an agent swarm to write more enterprise Go code.
You can pick literally almost anything, and current models will be able to write it. I don't know how you arrived at that statement.
Things that aren't AI still matter and are still interesting.
Flag the twits that bring it up in every thread. They're trolling at this point, not actually trying to have a conversation.
As AI programming tools improve, we will have the second coming from what 4 GLs, RUP, CASE tools, and Japan's Fifth Generation Computer Systems were trying to achieve, each on its own way as the next evolution on programming abstractions.
Absolutely agree. I’d take a guess that a decent chunk, if not majority of “business” applications probably still exist in either Django or Spring Boot. Should all of those be rewritten now “just ‘cause”?
The answer is "yes". Obviously people still care. No need to resurrect a dead bad post.
Meanwhile, behnamoh's post was essentially dismissing the idea that we should discuss non-AI topics in the age of AI. His mention of his hobby project doesn't redeem a garbage comment.
