The best one for me is Mario Paint on SNES!

I do realize this and the cat video mention was really me being facetious.

And honestly software engineers don’t need roads anyway working a tough four-day work week with long commute into the basement.

Jokes aside, innovation comes at a price. Every great thing will be turned into a weapon so just wait until the alpha-fold mutants start crawling out of a nearby sewage treatment plant.

hiyfsch··on FoundationDB's Flow – Bringing Actor-Based Concurrency to C++11
Yeah I guess also depends on the problem space. For example, dedicated threads doing something versus a bunch of short-lived asynchronous tasks that need scheduling anyhow.

If a bunch of tasks need to be schedule best not to have to reinvent the wheel on that if possible.

If there’s longer running tasks the benefits probably are less noticeable.

Just because coroutines exist doesn’t mean everything should use them for concurrency.

Why would it be better? It’s pretty easy to set up threads in general.

Honestly same as most socials.

Unless people control their own algorithm, forget about it.

Imagine buying a cooking magazine and it was full of political ads. Who wants that shit?

Many people have made micro Tcl’s too if you want something even lighter.

It has a built in subst command no need for a template engine!
