For now we have to be realistic, but hopeful that some better use than landfills can be found and be viable.

edit: I might be wrong on this, reading this on their site they have some significant donors. "With additional funding from the Walton Family Foundation, the Cielo Foundation, and donations from a myriad of individual donors and businesses in 2023"

So seeing the actual reality over a longer timeframe of solar farms, and wind turbines (those huge blades made of not friendly chemicals last only 10 years, do you know how they are disposed of?), have greatly reduced any excitement I had for solar/wind as environmentally friendly longer term sustainable solutions. I guess it's sort of good to diversify but they most definitely aren't "earth friendly" as advertised. Fusion seem our only real hope.

I wonder if EDN reader/parser for different languages could be written once, then compiled through wasm to c (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38602750) and linked in each language as c library.

Definitely would like to see EDN or slightly improved version as a modern and usable alternative to json/yaml (regardless of https://xkcd.com/927/).

Are there any open source DST projects, even just getting started? I don't even know how/where to start if I would want to do the same on a small app, but can't afford nor want to depend long term on a commercial license.

How might you improve EDN?

I too love edn, but unfortunately most other languages lib abandoned (eg. https://github.com/edn-format/edn-dot-net ). Looking around python seems relatively maintained which is great https://github.com/swaroopch/edn_format/issues

Looking forward to this and languages that can make use of wasm-gc.

Does wasm-gc allow sharing of host data/strings across different modules in the same runtime, or is it contained to only single module with repeated calls/invocations? The scenario I am considering would invoke several different modules in a pipeline, pass data between each step in an efficient manner.

Linq in c# is so nice, and lots of little c# features(maybe too many) in recent years has made it quite nice for daily use. With aot definitely prefer c# the language over golang. I do sort of loathe aspnet/mvc and especially blazor stuff. We desperately need a better web framework than asp but nothing will ever gain enough traction because of the ms dominance. Microsoft the sprawling corp never fails to disappoint, but damn the .net framework team does do some awesome work.

That said, I'm instead putting future efforts into python because let's be honest, uv/fastapi/fasthtml are more than fast enough for nearly every single project I've ever worked on.
