My conspiracy theory is that the EU is actively trying to create their own cloud through regulation after seeing the economic success from china's internet companies after the great firewall.

> EU is actively trying to create their own cloud

Unfortunately, the EU is not nearly coordinated for such a thing. And even if they were, regulation is not what will make it happen. EU is in a crisis of financial (VISA, AmEx) and software services (AWS, MS, Google) being almost entirely provided by USA. They are not going to dig themselves out of the hole by regulation.

For contrast, USA is (largely) dependent on China, Korea, and Taiwan for chips. But they decided to attack the problem by investing several hundred billion dollars to develop their domestic microchip manufacturing infrastructure [1]. This appears to be paying dividends already as TSMC is already producing chips in Arizona, and estimated 30% of all production of 2nm and better to be produced in USA by 2030.

It seems to me that this is the way nations take control of their problems. Unfortunately EU seems incapable.

> estimated 30% of all production of 2nm and better to be produced in USA by 2030

There will come a time when the EU is also buying their chips from USA and then they'll wonder how that happened.

There will be a time when the whole world buys its Fabs from the EU. Good luck getting more after US steals Greenland...

Incapable of being a nation I guess

It's not.

I think GP meant that in the sense that the EU is not a nation, it's a union of nations.

This is called "digital sovereignty", and it has been a major topic for OpenInfra foundation and other open source cloud foundations. Open source, and open cloud software, is the way to ensure your data can stay inside your own borders and be governed by your local laws. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvz2PcHq0yY is one example of folks talking about this, but realistically you can find talks from OpenStack/OpenInfra going back 4/5 years on this topic.

I love this. digital sovereignty sounds so cool too

We have plenty of cloud providers, most are on national levels, not international levels.

That's definitely happening. The US does this through massive government spending on American solutions. The EU is only starting to go that route as well.

>Beautiful code only tends to exist in open source.

This hasn't been my experience at all. Beautiful code happens when strong experienced developers are present - either as the authors or as leads instilling good culture on teams. It exists where teams acknowledge that someone (maybe even them) will have to come back to this code in the future. There is plenty of beautiful code inside the non-OSS repositories of Google, Microsoft, and others.

Oh, I didn't know that, I guess from the outside it never seems that way.

there's always carp lang but no gc

That's the language I was talking about :)

But none of us have worked on it in a while.

Carp is great and I would love to include a mode of jank which is very much Carp-esque. If you're interested in working together on this, please let me know.

Most of my contributions were to the stdlib so my knowledge of the implementation of the type system is limited sadly.

Maybe Erik, the creator, would be interested. I know he was looking at rewriting Carp in cpp at some point.

It's too bad. I was looking at it the other day, looks really interesting.

It's still a fun language to play with :)

My favourite thing was to run it on all kind of microcontrollers as you could just emit C. Wrote a small GBA game with it.

Pulling everything into the type system does lead to madness.

Luckily i'm just the mad scientist to recreate a non-async rust web stack, here's the sqlite bit if you're interested.

Bonkers but cool! I really appreciate the inclusion of the tree-sitter grammar; I think we should get more used to doing that.

I also use helix and i've been getting some mileage out of aider, the cli tool. Confusing name, as I don't believe aider is affiliated with aide

do you know of helix exposes the LSP APIs all the way to the editor .. if it does doing the integration should be trivial

im fairly sure helix-gpt does this, though i haven't tried it

reading the code for helix-gpt over here https://github.com/leona/helix-gpt/blob/2a047347968e63ca55e2... looks like the architecture for the extension is based around getting the diagnostic event and then passing that along to the chat.

The readme also talks about how LSP services are not exposed properly yet, my takeaway is that its not complete yet..but surely doable

will do, it definitely needs some documentation tlc

It really is, axum is great by itself, but it's always nice to have a few nice-to-haves on top

It also has a db! macro that lets you write sql and it maps it to rust structs and fns, I've made some improvements to the macro here https://github.com/swlkr/static_sqlite

This is awesome, well done

rust and ryde (my own framework on top of axum and rusqlite)

I'm the same way, it's one of the reasons I use helix, even for non rust dev
