Did #julialang end up kinda stalling or at least plateau-ing lower than hoped? by astrojuanlu in c/programming@programming.dev

@FizzyOrange The problem with Python for signal processing and stuff like that is not pip (I know it's a meme by now, but it's really not that bad) but rather, the fact that some SciPy subpackages are barely maintained

@maegul @programming Maybe nobody (save for the Julia developers) ever cared about the "two language problem". I see folks are just happy writing high performance tools in Rust with Python wrappers.

In any case, I'm happy that the Julia folks gave birth to things like DifferentialEquations.jl, truly a piece of art. Anything that helps scientists and engineers move away from MATLAB is welcome.

PySimpleGUI is now closed-source by astrojuanlu in c/python@programming.dev

@fidodo @SkyNTP It has already happened https://github.com/andor-pierdelacabeza/PySimpleGUI-4-foss

@maegul @fediverse @robin This is a great summary:

> failing to build the cooperation layer leads right back to capture no matter how good the tool. That's why git is simultaneously an extremely successful self-certifying system and a failed attempt at decentralisation.
