I wonder what I'm crackpotty about? Forth, probably, although I did actually port Dave Dunfield's 6809 Forth to a mid-1980s sampler. It boots off a floppy, I know what the memory map is, if it boots off a floppy I can make it run anything, right?

How about this crackpot view? Perl vs. Python, which I guess has been replaced by Rust vs. Go - I prefer Python and Go to Perl and Rust, simply because I know them better. If you want me to work in Rust or Perl I don't really care, they're just languages. I'm not as proficient in them, expect it to take longer. Rewrite it all in Rust? Sure. I'd prefer not to, but if that's today's project then shut up and pay my invoice.

Let's see, what other things are wild crackpot ideas around here?

I don't think LLMs are very good.

I don't think self-driving cars solve the right problem.

Permaculture would be better for long-term ecological sustainability and food security than "everyone should be vegan".

Bikes would work perfectly well in American cities if you used enough of them.
