nish__··on The Sovereign Tech Fund invests in Scala
I learned recently that one of the killer apps for Scala seems to be in hardware design. Chisel [0] is the core technology of the best open source RISC-V chips. Chipyard [1] is designing leading edge type OOE and AI chips and all of the code is written in Scala. Personally, I can't wait for some of these designs to start being mass produced and put in laptops and phones.

To do what?
nish__··on FreeBSD
I stand corrected.
nish__··on FreeBSD
Fair tbh
nish__··on FreeBSD
Good point.
nish__··on FreeBSD
Simplicity in the sense that BSD is a much smaller codebase than linux and therefore less complex and easier to onboard new devs.
nish__··on FreeBSD
Simplicity. Also maybe use Go for apps instead of Java.

The idea is it would be nice to have an OS that is a little easier to learn for the next generation of devs.

nish__··on FreeBSD
Someone should make a new mobile OS like android but based on FreeBSD.
nish__··on FreeBSD
Good OS. Idk what to say. I thought this was a news site.
nish__··on FreeBSD
Honestly lmao

It's a conspiracy!

Who would you rather get paid? Athletes or programmers?

I agree. Why are you building for platforms you don't even use?

nish__··on Open Chaos: A self-evolving open-source project
Just a website? Websites can do anything. It could evolve into a whole social network.
nish__··on Bose has released API docs and opened the API for its EoL SoundTouch speakers

Project Corsa is a rewrite of the TypeScript compiler in Go. I don't think that's what's being asked for.
nish__··on Ruby 4.0.0
Ruby::Box looks useful.
