Some names are problematic, like this one. Some others are lucky [1] (I know it's a joke)

New comment by avestura in "Ask HN: How should new programmers learn in the AI era?"

avestura — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 07:13:58 +0000

If you wanted to become a painter, would you use generative AI to make you a painting and then call yourself an artist? I wouldn't. Downloading mp3 files doesn't make anyone a musician.

That said, I don't see any problem with using AI to grasp ideas faster[1]. AI can help you create a personalized roadmap and resolve confusion along the way. But if one doesn't go hands-on and understand what the AI is doing, and only consumes the output, there is no learning in that.

[1] By 'faster,' I mean getting a response quickly (requires fact-checking, ofc) instead of spending hours on Stack Overflow.

That's true. However the website also promotes it as a systems programming language here and there. For example in the same homepage it says "Perfect for Systems Programming: Operating systems and IoT" and some other places like here: https://nature-lang.org/docs/get-started

Maybe I have a too strict definition of systems programming languages, but I would never call a GC language a systems programming language. Who would use an operating system that suddenly stops the entire world because some random language's runtime wants to collect its memory garbage?

That said, well done for making this.

Another hug of death. The website says "It must be upgraded via the Firebase console before it can begin serving traffic again."

Fun-shaming a passionate developer who, beyond their job description, delivered an editor that checks all the required boxes (small binary, fast, ssh-support, etc.) in just 4 months, while working on weekends and even Christmas, and calling it "wasting time" is incredibly upsetting. I'm grateful to work with people who value that kind of initiative.

>for the reasons you say

That's not what I say, that's what the former PM Lead of WSL said. To be fair, Windows Services for UNIX was just Unix services for Windows. Probably the same logic applied there back then: they couldn't name it with a leading trademark (Unix), so they went with what was available.

Microsoft can't name a project leading with a trademark (Linux ), hence why it's called WSL.
