Well, that's what you get for writing all this #ai bullshit garbage in #python and not a real fucking language like #rust or c++ with proper garbage collection.

@praetor time to grow our own

@revndm I have fallen in love with C++ all over again. And I think those "old fart" languages (like I'm also a master at Pascal) is going to be what saves things. A compiled language is a no-brainer. But C++ you can opt for manual management or garbage collection. Takes up hardly any memory.

@praetor I have zero such skills except I used to be able to make the computer say Hello. I think that was programmed in cuneiform though.

[praetor@mstdn.social]

@revndm Oh. This is what I've done professionally since I was 15.

@praetor sometimes I wish I had learned and other times I think my pedantic ocd brain would explode. Also I have some weird “connection” to tech such that I was able to change the code on an app we once had built, but which wasn’t being accepted in the App Store. No idea what or why I did what I did.

[praetor@mstdn.social]

@revndm I am waiting for Apple to approve my first App Store app. Because, I screwed some more aesthetic user interface stuff up they didn't like Not because the app is bad.

@praetor exciting! What does it do?
Let me know when it’s live!

@revndm it plays radio stations on MacOS using your menu bar https://kasbjornsen.codeberg.page/radior/

[revndm@queer.cool]

@praetor nice!

[praetor@mstdn.social]

@revndm I'm working on some others too. It's been fun!

@praetor Python is not the reason that large AI models require many GB of RAM to process efficiently.
