Is it open source, can you share? Have been pondering using source generators to achieve a similar effect and have the LLM build the source generator ‘framework’ that code would derive from rather than just generating the code itself, you create the code generation framework.

What really interests me most is the sharding and the possibility of using this for multitenancy - is the hooks / plugin architecture sufficient so you can run a small sidecar to add shards or tenants to the TOML file dynamically? Would be a game changer.

Everyone says Rust is hot, while Clickhouse and DuckDB is still innovating in C++.

Clickhouse will blow it out of the water any day.

I’m sure the use of duckdb may seem weird for normal developers, but for data people it really is game-changing, especially for data scientists or business analysts.

Agreed, when I was reading this I thought "but this is normal adult life?"

I literally didn't read any comment that spoke to the context to which PG was speaking - Oxford Union.

Any sane, rational person would offer different advice to people they see as "future prime ministers and billionaires" or at the very least people influential in future policy decisions, than they would to society in general.

Came here to say this.

Cloudflare should just buy Lovable next.

This seems quite novel? Not encountered the concept of a “locus” like this in code before.

Nice seeing an article from SA here :) unfortunately, this surprises none of us.

Very excited every time I see cross-platform GUI in go.

I think the right mental model is that Gova is to Fyne like DaisyUI is to TailwindCSS??

I think styling and ready-made components out of the box?

Do you have a newsletter or how should we know when C# will be available?

I think Microsoft Orleans, Erlang OTP and Scala Play are probably most famous examples in use today.

So from what I understand…

Someone needs to build Qt’s successor, probably with more beginner-friendly declarative semantics (akin to HCL or Cue) and probably with syntax closest to YAML or Python (based on learning curve, beginner readability etc).

The backend will probably have to be something written in Zig (likely) or Nim (capable, less likely) and will probably have to leverage OpenGL/Metal, WebGL and WASM.

Obviously a massive undertaking, which is why I think the industry has not reached consensus that this is what needs to happen. The less ideal options we have now often gets the job done.

Never heard of PanGUI - glad to see its C#, will have to try it out.

This should be the top comment. The thing about growth of businesses overall, is that they want outsourced capacity (that’s what employees or contractors are) and that dynamic doesn’t go away because of AI, because like the comment mentioned, it’s not reliable enough in the sense that it can accept high-context vague instructions and ‘figure it out’ like an enterprise developer can.

What did you go with?

How is Comptime different from default AOT compilation? I assume it can work with third-party libraries that AOT don’t work with yet?

.Net is better fit for this than Python for sure?

How does it compare to https://slatedb.io/ ?

Seems similar ideas, although SlateDB seems a bit more lightweight and using Parquet as primitive (even using Arrow) might mean more compute-heavy on client-side?

License does not yet exist? Hope it’s Apache 2.

Something like Borgo https://borgo-lang.github.io/

Also wishing more of these tools use C# on the backend.

Wait, do people at scale use NodeJS and Python for services? I assume always it’s Go, Java, C# etc.

OpenTofu is already the de facto fork.

Never heard of Factor but quite intriguing!

The core issue is like you said - responsibility.

Wanted to get into enterprise-level back-end development in 2025 and was really drawn to Scala, but ultimately learning C# or Kotlin seemed way more practical.
