His bio gives a more detailed description of the startup: "after his PhD, Bharath co-founded Computable a startup that built better tools for collaborative dataset management", which seems to not exist anymore.

But he came back to drug discovery:

"Bharath is currently the founder and CEO of Deep Forest Sciences, which is building an AI-powered suite for drug and materials design and discovery."

I mostly eat 90% and now find 85% too sweet (but 100% too bitter). I think our taste just adapts to the level of sweetness after some time.

New comment by programLyrique in "Why Lisp?"

programLyrique — Fri, 12 Nov 2021 19:35:56 +0000

Accessing the code part and modifying during execution is actually rather easy in R. Functions such as substitute or quote are commonly used and a language expression in R is a list that you can edit and evaluate back.

The internals itself in R actually sound quite lispy: both values and codes are SEXP (S-expressions).

R is inspired by Scheme and Common Lisp; it has first-class functions, multiple dispatch.

https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~ihaka/downloads/Interface98...

"This decision, more than anything else, has driven the direction that R development has taken. As noted above, there are quite strong similarities between Scheme and S, and the adoption of the S syntax for our interpreter produced something which “felt” remarkably close to S."

What impresses me with Faust is the sheer number of targets they have: most audio plugin formats out there, but also web audio plugins, the new SOUL language (https://soul.dev/), Rust, C++, C, LLVM bitcode.
