How this scam language gained traction is beyond me.

Huh. Pretty cool. I haven't looked at vnix in a while, and it's been almost as long since I looked at V. It had a lot of controversy early on. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has tried it recently to find out if they ever ended up delivering on their promises.

How are things going with V btw? In the past i've seen some bad press about this programming language.

It was nice to use when I tried to dabble with it.

> QEMU uses macOS hardware virtualization for the ARM64 desktop.

Huh, since when does QEMU support hardware virtualization on Apple Silicon? To the best of my knowledge, among all the VM managers available on macOS (VMware, Parallels, VirtualBox, …) only UTM currently supports hardware virtualization and that's through the Apple Virtualization backend, not through QEMU.

I enjoy the screenshot showing Calculator taking 617 MB of RAM. It feels very modern indeed.

It looks nice. How much vibecoding does it contain? Can we trust these claims?
