Hear me out: erlang did this decades ago first principles wise to solve the problems they had. This rethink is going to look very much like erlang's concurrency primitives and hot code swapping. The future is constantly changing software. xitter.gq/dhh/status/21070688297…

Keep your mind flexible! Rust has an edge at the moment, but Rauch is spot on: We should rethink the entire stack from first principles given the transition to agent-led programming. Very little of what was will remain that way.

Love the new elixir-lang.org design 😍
The Elixir programming language

The Elixir programming language

Elixir is a dynamic, functional language designed for building scalable and maintainable applications. Simple from zero to scale, running on the battle-tested Erlang VM.

❗️ Over 30 official Red Hat npm packages were compromised. How they got in: - A Red Hat employee's GitHub account was compromised. - Attackers pushed "orphan commits" (detached from branch history) straight in, bypassing code review with no pull request. - Payload "Miasma" (Mini Shai-Hulud variant) steals GitHub/cloud/Vault/SSH/npm secrets. Rotate everything since June 1. - The commits added a workflow (ci.yaml) + script (_index.js) that abused npm trusted publishing, requesting a real OIDC token to publish backdoored versions.
