@ChristosArgyrop I think you need to define your terms, What do you mean by “survive”? E.g., #Myspace “survives,” but is a shadow of its former self.

@mjgardner www.twitter.com goes the way of the Atari. Wife thinks a MySpace future is possible, I claim clinical death.

@HaplogroupNews @mjgardner it is really going downhill. I think Australia and NZ had an outage that lasted 14hrs? I would not hold my breath about Bluesky. I think setting one's server may be the only survivable option.

@HaplogroupNews @mjgardner not interested in TypeScript. My interest in computing is simply data crunching , pushing the envelope on the RNA sequencing protocols we are developing for research work (lots of text there, so I am back to #Perl ) and having fun after work. Never had an interest in anything related to web programming

@HaplogroupNews @ChristosArgyrop @mjgardner switching to the tech account . We have a nice short paper in preparation where we used #Perl 's regex to speed up a probability calculations for RNA sequencing applications. Too bad #Python's regex / re modules are not as fast. I have been telling a couple of friends who are in real AI/Machine Learning roles to revisit the "old" languages as they have constructs that can speed up their models
