I have a clear view the plan.

If individuals had power to allocate funding or not to public research projects rather than get a blanket tax, there would be a lot more conventional marketing in the public sector as well.

Of course not. I'm so tired of the chess analogy. It was always a game and it was always performative.

Research is fundamentally different. We are seeing the erosion of specific needs for thinking at depth. AI is the automobile for the mind. There will 100% be undesirable consequences and selective atrophy of cognitive abilities once prized. This is a loss. There's no getting the cat back in the bag at this point so long as the objective dimension of work, as in object opposed to subject, is held as the most important.

SWEs felt this same crisis late last year. Now it's the mathematicians. They won't be the last.

Denial of service is the established term. Hammering their API (reviewer committees) would be an informal one

You would think, except in their own testing they found no benefit. Some measures it was even worse on.

I would guess that they will release a folio that can accommodate one. If not, a competitor certainly will.

They pay at cost though, not the public API pricing.

Jane Street's use of OCamel gives them a comparative advantage in hiring. Many devs put a premium on the tools they use. Same story with Anduril/Mercury using Haskell. You can run a successful prop trading firm/weapons design shop/startup-banking(?) platform without these things. They differentiate you from your competitors by being cool, not by being the best technical solution. If anything they were otherwise unprove at scale and out of pure engineering consideration a gamble. Developers are consumers.

> Literally 30 seconds

And knowing the magic keyword search `adix` to arrive at a prerelease library that you yourself wrote. That not's exactly an endorsement for discoverability. Unless I'm missing something, Nimble is essentially stateless. You have no sense of how many times or how recently a library has been downloaded. These are important proxies.

> There has never been much prog.lang. benefit from being "in the stdlib/core" in Nim (unlike Python or Go, say) … more batteries core distribution is valuable - just less than you might guess

You've been around the community a lot longer than I have. Don't you find this strange? What top 10 language has as weak of a std lib as Nim? [Status all but says](https://status-im.github.io/nim-style-guide/libraries.std.ht...) don't use it.

> practically that needs delegation.

Yeah, I don't think this is the community's strong suit. It strikes me that Araq is tired of explaining himself (but doesn't care to consolidate discussion into ADRs), so when a well-meaning, would be contributor like the parent-poster comes along they get shot down and we lose them.

Andreas is simultaneously brilliant and myopic to needs outside of his own (compiler dev).

It's amazing how many fights he gets into with Status-IM engineers who are the biggest financial supporters of the project and the only noteworthy company that heavily uses Nim.

Has OrderedTable been ported to Nimony? Does it still have this bug?

For sure, those things would go a distance towards making it a more competitive language.

Why haven't they happened yet though...? Nim is not a young language. Leadership [Andreas] doesn't think they are more important than spending time adding another memory management option.
