I miss Ghostty when I am on my Windows machine. Really wish it was available on Windows.

OCaml programmers, what learning resource would you recommend starting out with? I know there's https://cs3110.github.io/textbook/chapters/basics/intro.html. How does this book compare? Anything else you would recommend?

> now that LLMs can generate JavaScript for us.

You mean generate unmaintainable JavaScript for us.

Oh, that's cool. And that's exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. So thanks a lot!

This is the world we live in now. 3-4 megacorps owning everything in every major product category - eyewear, cosmetic, consumer goods, media, tech; you name it.

Thanks, I gathered that much. I am curious what kind of stuff people are using it for, especially in their personal projects.

People using DuckDB, what's your use case? I use sqlite for a lot of my personal projects. What's a good use case for using DuckDB?

I don't think it's childish to dislike verbosity in a language. Readability is important. There is a reason why there are so many programming languages that compile to Go: https://github.com/ubavic/compiles-to-go

It's the ugly as hell part that gets me.

I don't have a problem with the error handling per say, but it's the verbosity, yes.

I really want to like Go, but I can't stand looking at Go code. The error handling is such a turn off.

It's better for VRAM poor people. I get 4-5 t/s with 27B and 20-30 t/s with 35B A3B.

For starters, strudel runs in the browser while Sonic Pi is a stand alone application.
