I would definitely expect some kind of test like -1^2 == 1 for such an important SDK, even more if it impacts C++ too. Well, they hopefully have now written this test.


You're joking but we went from the Ada "contracts and pre/post conditions" to the ReactJS monstrosities instead on improving the whole thing and being more strict.


I think it has more to do with the people than the tools.


that's what the comment means we as people went from picking Ada to ReactJS

of course we also went from having no Rust and no TypeScript and only a few hundred thousand semi-academic people having some knowledge of programming to hundreds of millions of people doing some tutorial/bootcamp/cert/degree, or even built something, or actively learns, or right now works as a professional programmer.

(un)fortunately Ada was not able to grow to became the default tool for all these jobs that all those millions of people did or wanted to do when they did/do programming.

JS/ECMAScript is evolving, things are getting better!


> as people went from picking Ada to ReactJS

That didn't happen in the 80s either. They picked C over Ada.


The Knights Templar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar) were kinda both, but modern AI is more mercenary in order to grab all the profits and become a monopoly nowadays.


> the app gives you a clear, contextual interpretation

How is it possible when dreams are highly personal?

Last but not least, there are a hundred applications with same name on the Play Store, which one is yours?


Still the same way I have told people for the past 10 years: go to https://www.python.org/ and have fun.


The same hype as the PlayStation being too powerful and potentially could be used by random countries to make nuclear weapons with a cluster of those.


Lol and the Playstation was already in the public conscious as a product that a lot of people found easy to understand. With AI tools only being presented this way, I'm slowly becoming less surprised why the less informed public has a level of aversion about it.

Made by the same people who brought us SQLite.


The US Navy?


Insert coin for an additional hour of timing.


<anything> is not available in your country yet. Thanks Google for protecting me because my web is very different from the American one.


Probably more about managing back end load and error rate as it's rolled out progressively.


`--colocate` is indeed working fine for me. The backend is then stored in a real `.git` directory instead of being hidden deep inside the `.jj` directory as a bare git repository. Python scripts that use pygit or tools like Conan can safely use that `.git` directory while you enjoy your jj workflow.

There might be some issues with jj workspaces though if you have the habit of using git worktrees as the colocated repo is not there anymore.
