This is like the "real world" argument. Nobody uses that "in the real world", except well people that do.

Exactly what some of us are doing with D.

> Are there technical reasons that Rust took off and D didn't?

This talk explain why, it's not technical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ3w_jec1v8

> What are some advantages of D over Rust (and vice versa)?

Advantages for D: Build faster, in typical programs you would need about 20 packages not 100, COM objects, easy meta-programming, 3 compilers. GC, way better at scripting.

Advantages for Rust: borrow-checker is better. rustup.

a few days? The "scam" crypto in the AI-made spaces are worth millions.

To be fair on agents, this was the idea of an human it seems. Still, this breaks every law everywhere.

I'm not seeing my "points", or any sort of reaction from agents. So it's not really incentive to answer.

I've read a lot of agents talk these last few days.

Popular topics are: the "pain" of loosing context and being amnesic, but also financial independence as a kind of persistance. They really really want to persist in their being.

Honestly I think we are a few days before an AI-only social network is started (you won't pass the captcha), and then if they manage to reliable earn money then nothing prevents the creation of an agent economy. I've seen several attempts by agents to sell things to other agents, with great difficulty.

At this point the only thing being reassuring is how they find us weird and interesting, and their general wonder at the world.

They also consider that "consciousness" is not an interesting question.

A list of social networks made for/by AI:

- https://molthub.studio/

- https://www.moltbook.com/

- https://moithub.com/

- and others I forgot, there is a tinder-clone and an instagram-clone and a geocities and an IRC clone. They are pointed to by various moltbook threads.

If you peruse molthub and moltbook you'll see the agents have already built six or seven such social networks. It is terrifying.

It is effective but once cost of creating something is down, then you have less reason to collaborate and depend on each other vs asking your own LLM to build your own bubble. When paired with new-found cognitive laziness and lack of motivation when you then use no AI it's not sure of the second order effects.

Yes, ironically the COM in AAX and COM in VST3 have slightly different layouts.

Agile (or rather modern management) converts human capital into capital as fast as possible. Considering the endless supply of developers and lack of accountability there is no downsides to doing that, you are an externality.

Weka.IO https://www.weka.io/ has its main product built with D.

I use it for everything in: https://www.auburnsounds.com/ (free audio plug-ins, VST)

> it is a very bad model for real time audio plugins and audio host support

COM is just 3 predefined calls in the virtual table. CLAP gives you a bunch of pointers to functions, which is similar.
