I will argue that stuffing a corpse full of formaldehyde, putting it in a sealed box, likely plastic-lined, and then burying it in such a way as to ensure that no future life forms benefit from the sequestered biology…
the interest in self-driving cars (by anyone except salivating bean-counters and CEOs) has been greatly exaggerated. Most people seem to prefer driving to being a passenger, particularly the passenger of some broken…
That's a very short-sighted way to read the room. Doubt has been sown at a critical Rust adoption juncture, and major damage has occurred, and the stench will not simply blow away or only stick with the forkers, it's…
There have been various toy DAWs the have web GUIs. I've never seen a production-capable DAW with a web GUI. I suspect that existing web-as-native-GUI frameworks make presumptions about threading that won't work where a…
Well, in the sense of "lifetimes" that I mean in terms of ownership, scope, and destruction, yes we do know the lifetime (removing a plugin-instance and de-allocation in an orderly fashion is part of a plugins API, for…
Audio is literally a major domain where GC is a big no-go... (even a GC running in another GUI thread can be an issue if it's a stop-the-world operation) You won't find a single audio backend in a GC language. GC is…
Ableton isn't open source. There are also several other DAWs and Ableton isn't some pinnacle of software engineering. Take Larry and ESR and anyone else with some pinches of salt, because accepting some proprietary…
What about using the graphic bits from WDL? https://www.cockos.com/wdl/

Wow, I disagree. 1) a binary executable of low memory footprint that can be run as a standard systemd service vs THE JVM (gasps of terror) 2) I bet you Crystal STILL beats the pants off jRuby or actually ANYTHING run on…
your entire complaint appears based around the timeline of windows support. you are free to use windows as a principal OS, but please inform us of your biases when totally trashing a team and product for what is…
Crystal has already "taken off" for me, in the sense that it does everything I need it to do. The standard library is replete with http client and server, as well as JSON, and a host of other useful bits, just have a…
Where are you deriving the notion that Brasil grants corporations "free speech"? Local market compliance. It's part of every OTHER economic sector, get over it.
Raydev appears to have no interest in learning anything about the music production process nor putting in any work. I suggest that they are using "expensive gear" as a proxy for "effort, work, sweat, time" mechanical…
"democratization"!? It wouldn't be YOU or another PERSON gaining these capacities, in such a scenario, it would be the tool, and you would be the toolmakers customer. ATM, LLM's of reasonable sophistication for such…
I think it's rather the opposite. Those tools are controlled by large capital, at the level of being capable of wowing people with cutting-edge realistic content. I predict a renewed interest in human scale art and…
The screenshots tricked me.

Well, coding != complicated frontend development, which it appears you are teaching your students as an allegedly "easy" programming environment. You could perhaps consider starting them with Racket or some other…
