I can't stop cackling at this meme. Declarative packaging is cool in concept, but man the tooling sucks, and the advertisements suck even more imo.

I slightly liked guix more than nix, but im partial to scheme/lisp rather than a bespoke dsl i have to learn.

Ill stick with my traditional packaging thank you very much.

I really liked solene%'s pkgset, its a nice middle ground between declarative and traditional.

i wonder if *literal-objects* leaks memory 🤔

Anyway, one thing that jumped out of Tridge's recent riposte to all this is that he knew about regressions that weren't covered by the test suites, and that's not in the release notes, and he shipped anyway.

I have a set of feelings about generative AI, but I guess this newfound "velocity" makes it pretty easy to convince yourself that major, maybe-breaking changes are ... no big deal. Just a patch, damn the downstream, ship another one and reliable semver ends up more genAI roadkill, I guess.
