the dedication of the dev is perceptible, almost unlimited replay value and the will release a major extension in 9 days that looks wonderful.
purescript if you count “compile to js” as compiled.

- can AI replace the job of a real programmer, or a team of software engineers? Probably not for a long time.
- can manager abuse the fantasy that they could get rid of those pesky engineers that dare telling them something is impossible? Yes totally. If they believe adding an AI tool to a team justifies a 200% increase in productivity. Some managers will fire people against all metrics and evidence. Calling that move a success. Same occurred when they try to outsource code to cheaper teams.

I work for s company that suddenly asked to rename a lot of stuff. This had consequences. It cost time, money, and created a disconnect between internal to the dev vocabulary that couldn’t be changed easily and user facing vocabulary.

I would say, martyrs is not in the notable list, but I feel this is one of the worst.
I think unlike Google, there are still many pure engineers that need to contribute to open source to be motivated and are still have some power.
I feel, but I am not sure, that for Google, thing have switched more and faster to the side of Big soulless corps.
Generally speaking my experience is that even in these big soulless corps there are positive and passionate people. But quite often they do not have enough decision power to have a positive impact.
Clojure is pretty decent.
