Just found this gem, turns out Crash on the og PlayStation was written in Lisp.

I’m always being asked for more information on the LISP based languages I designed for the Crash and Jak games. This post is about GOOL, the LISP language used in Crash 1, Crash 2, and Crash …

Dart - the supposedly modern language that feels like it's stuck in the 90s.

You know what! I don't care that we're building software on top of an increasingly unstable tower of abstractions, as long as we all collectively agree to get back to the times when we were building fun things with Java.

To all the PWA developers out there - I'm sorry for making fun of PWAs all these years, you were right, and I'm sorry for offending all 5 of you - now can we please stop making Flutter/React Native/Electron apps. .

In functional languages a type can represent an interface, yes, but in some sense it also represents state (i.e. is a Result resolvable to a concrete thing).

In OOP languages, a type just tells you what interface a thing adheres to.
