<p>Assembly is very useful to learn, but does not bring as strong a paradigm shift, as it is similar to most other imperative, procedural languages.</p>

<p>The similarity of Ruby and Elixir is only extremely superficial and betrays your lack of familiarity with the language.</p>

<p>Lisp, Forth, Erlang, Smalltalk, and Rebol, so easily forgotten.<p>All languages that multiply your insight into the nature of computer programming. A bit sad that many just stop at the first of these, and many more don’t even venture past their Pythons and Javascripts.</p>

<p>Here’s an idea that’s been following me for a while, if you like low-level stuff:<p>Make a toy OS that boots into a Lisp shell.<p>Another to appreciate how fast computers that we call old effectively are: write a game for the shell. Depending on your level of skill, you can try pong, snake, lunar lander, or a 3D software renderer.</p>

<p>I'm mostly thinking about video games. The problem is systemic. It's simply less risky to remake than to create a new IP</p>

<p>Entertainment companies have unlocked the infinite money glitch with remakes; not only companies but also people are afraid of trying something new, so why not profit from nostalgia.<p>I called it years ago, but I didn’t expect how people would love to play the same story and watch the same movie over and over again. Incidentally they will be also easier to AI generate, as part of their existing data set. It truly is the end game for our stale and uninspired culture.<p>I missed Breath of the Wild, I’ll play it on the Switch 4 remake in a couple of years.<p>/rant</p>

<p>Statistically speaking, does extremely unlikely mean impossible? If it were replicable I'd raise my eyebrow, otherwise it's fair game, no?<p>As someone that enjoys the unterminable complaints about RNG in the video game scene, I would never trust any human's rationalization of random outcomes.</p>
