We mostly develop on Linux, but target all three OSs.

Also take a look at sourcehut for those interested in an alternative

That colonization was primarily driven by the need to obtain resources. Today and in the future, there is no reason to should send humans to gather resources when we can send robots to do it instead.

Past colonization happened because individuals made choices they felt would benefit them.

Even if the only goal of colonization is getting resources (which I dispute), some individuals will risk colonization to get resources that they can't obtain at home. Resources are not evenly distributed across a population and, and every piece of land is owned by someone, but not everyone owns land.

The cost of space travel will continue to drop, and at some point it will make sense for people to seek their fortune there.

Moreover, we didn't land on the moon in 1969 to get resources, and we're not going to land in the 2020s for resources. The reasons are complex, and not always logical, but they are definitely not about resources. I don't see any reason why that would change in a hundred years.

There's plenty of resources to be extracted from space. Metals, for one. Also, zero-G drug development and manufacturing is promising too.

Lisp is alive as ever in Emacs and Common Lisp, and Clojure and Racket

And Tcl lives on in GDB, sure, just as M4 is forever alive with ubiquitous use of autotools.

Not quite the same thing. All the software I mentioned above have communities that constantly push to improve the ecosystem.

the article doesn't say kind things about it..

That's what they used to say about mobile phones with no keyboards :))

Keyboards were replaced with a touch screen alternative that effectively does the same job though. What is the alternative to a camera? Cameras are way too useful on a mobile device for anyone to even consider dropping them IMO.

He's obviously jesting

Oh. Woooosh. Thanks for still being nice about it (-:

AI image generators

Is this supposed to be a sort of user-friendly vercel / gh pages alternative?

In some ways yes, we want to make non-technical frontend to host static sites but also be able to host content such as files and documents easily too.

I see, sounds cool! You should get your website on IPv6 though.

Noted, thanks

I'm not sure why you think Lisp is somehow "outdated". It is a perfectly modern programming language and new Lisp code gets written at startups today in 2025.

The true Plan9 aesthetic

It really goes to show what a dedicated team can accomplish. Before Ladybird it was taken for granted that building an entirely new browser engine would take decades and people would laugh at you for even bringing it up.

Well, it is going to take decades…

It’s a valuable, ambitious project, but it is going to take a while before it can be used for anything real.

Before Ladybird every time someone brought up about making a new web engine, pretty much every top voted comment here on HN was about how that was impossible to do, often bringing up how even a giant like Microsoft had to abandon their engine.

At least now the cynical pessimistic takes changed from "impossible, not even MS with their giant teams can do it" to "it may take decades for this small team to do it".

To be fair, when they started, they intended to write a browser from the bottom up, including such things as image and video decoders, networking, etc.

They changed course.

To be fair. They have a really long way to go.
