Beyond Functional Programming: The Verse Programming Language (Simon Peyton Jones) [Unreal Engine] (youtu.be)
 

Stumbled upon this video. Seems really interesting. SPJ is really enjoyable to listen to, as always.

I'm kind of a beginner... Can someone explain why you would make/use/have a dynamically and/or weak typed language? Is it just to not write some toInteger / as u64 / try_from()? I mean the drawbacks seem to outweigh the benefits...

It's funny because it's a good suggestion...

Won't get caught if it's closed source...

That's because of monopolies... There are only two brands of PC CPUs you could own...

The *NIX philosophy, that you describe, is having a bunch of small programs do specific tasks. Monolithic means having one large thing do all the tasks. Maybe the confusion comes from the fact that the Linux kernel is monolithic. They tried to make a FOSS Unix clone before Linux was a thing, but I think they failed (see GNU Hurd). What it means for a kernel to be monolithic or not, I have no idea... I assume the same, but on the kernel level.

Has anyone used Lapce? Is it any good? (programming.dev)
 

I use Emacs, but only because I don't want to use VSCode (spyware) or VSCodium (even that does not get all the telemetry out by default, and anyway, it's like using Chromium...). But Emacs is NOT good for my OCD... Too much time configuring things I don't really care about. And I don't code as much as actual (professionals) programmers (I'm a mathematician), so I basically use my mouse a lot...

Anyway has anyone tried Lapce? Is it any good?

Pretty sure X has existed since Ancient Greece at least. Maybe even the Phoenicians before the Greek alphabet?

Pretty sure that's the opposite of monolithic

I don't think it's arbitrary. I think people eat the ones that are tasty...
