Also so that I don't have to use things like "np.dot(A, B)" and similar annoyances.

This is exactly why I'm going to Julia. It either has these constructs in the language itself or is powerful enough to express them adequately. Numpy is a necessary crutch for Python.

All 6 dune parts.

Why didn't you stay with Julia? PyCall.jl might be helpful to replace Python.

Pottery might be better.

> Java was the first mainstream language with automatic memory management and garbage collection

Wouldn't this be Lisp?

How far along are you with Clasp?

Of course I can, but then I need to create several different accounts on different sites to place different orders when I can just order everything in one order on Amazon.

Why would I accept that this happens? What's next, my boss getting cameras in my house to see if I get the mandated resting time until it's time to work again?

Really? By inventing Java?

Nobody has "a large codebase" in a notebook. They're for explorative programming and visualisations and they're excellent for that. And VS Code is technically a web browser, so...

I've looked into both some time ago, and while both are great languages the tools around ocaml are atrocious.

I can only tell you that I consider it excellent and that I would rather use Julia with PyCall than Python.

... where else on HN, obviously.

Where else would you discuss the language itself?

Your analogy is false. Python is popular because it is popular - it has momentum. That's pretty much the only reason.

For me, Telegram is almost perfect when it comes to usability. Gifs, stickers, being able to send videos (as opposed to WhatsApp), setting a background for chats, etc.

But for non-tech users you have to mention an app they can install to message you. Then we're back to Element.

I think I'd like Cloak for a secure messenger. Or Cape. I don't know, I find Element very generic.

I don't quite understand this need to make everything into a verb that americans seem to have. "Let's zoom", really? In germany it's just "let's write in WhatsApp/Telegram/Facebook/Signal/etc.".

This looks pretty cool. Why isn't this more popular?

You could still benefit from a Zettelkasten just by distilling knowledge in note form. Even if you don't actually have to go back very often.

That looks good.

> The earmuffs are also good as a signal to your coworkers that you are concentrated. They will interrupt you less.

You'd think so...

I mean yeah... but the performance will be accordingly.

Honestly, I need two things: a simple interface that let's me log an expense in a few seconds, and a detailed analysis that I can look at (spendings per weekday, per week, per month; maybe an overview that links similar expenses [food] together so that I can see the frequencies?). If that is well done then I'm mostly set.

Both.

We're talking about computer science and not about enterprise programming. Object oriented programming is not the focus here.

Manual memory management, no real type system to speak of, extremely easy to shoot off your foot for no good reason,...

Nope, it's only slightly better than java. Lisps and MLs are objectively better when it comes to teaching Cs materials.
