I think that's not viable. To make that work you'd have to keep up with the kernel for years, probably more than a decade, to reach some kind of critical mass and become influential enough to be capable of separating from it and driving decisions that run counter to it. That's not even to mention the loss it would be to have these capable teams (rust proponents for the kernel and extremely experienced maintainers and contributors who want nothing to do with it) working in parallel at best and in partial opposition at worst, when they could work together.
This is much more of a manpower and money problem than it is a technical one. Of course it's possible to fork Linux and rewrite it in Rust. But who would spend all that time and energy doing that without the Linux foundations funds and expertise? You'd probably burn out within a few years before ever substantially converting the code base
There is a (to me very surprising) typo in the section 'Focus on what matters.' where the AI summary states "... 11 out off[sic] 100 products ..."
I don't think I've ever encountered a typo in any of the LLM output I've seen, seems like the exact sort of thing an LLM would be more or less perfect at.
Am I wrong to take this as an indication that this text is actually written by a human as a concise marketing example?
Another in the same vein is vim-fugitive by tpope [1].
I have never used magit, only a Neovim plugin claiming to resemble it, but I would assume fugitive is much the same (and quite wonderful from my experience).

I'm a software developer about to finish my MSc (CS) looking what interesting work might be out there.
I am very happy with Zola. Every SSG has its own shortcomings, for Zola I was initially bothered by lack of 'proper' footnotes and the insistence on having to have frontmatter, but I've yet to feel that I cannot do something really. The docs can be a touch confusing imo, but they're written with care.
I can only recommend Zola as well. I’ve been using it for past 4 years or so and it’s been very stable. Like you, I feel the docs could be a bit more deeper (+more examples) but I’ve always managed to figure out what I need to do.
I'm sure you're right in what you say, but this is not the reason modern acrobat is slow. I'm sure you could build a modern and accessible app that starts and loads the requested PDF snappily to show it, but acrobat will also (iirc) have some cloud integration now for storage and a bunch of the features they offer are gated behind some sort of subscription, the status of which I would guess is loaded on startup, probably along with a bunch of other stuff.
Can it possibly be true that 60+% (she writes "nearly two-thirds") of women in STEM have this character as an influence? I'm only barely aware of this media property and here in Europe I feel our Media is fairly "American" still, does this show have such a global reach? I found, for instance, that the X-Files movie only had 4.2% of its revenue internationally, so I think its not such a popular property outside the US. How would even 10% of chinese female STEM workers hear of this character?
I believe she is citing the PDF she links, where only an archived version is available right now. It seems to be a US-only study, although I don't see any explanation of where participants were from.
The movies were much less successful than the TV series. The series was definitely hugely popular in Western Europe at least, I can't speak for the whole continent.
Yep, the PDF/study is US-based (and funded by 21st Century Fox lol)
" The sample was demographically representative and weighted to be representative of women in the U.S. population based on age (25 and older), STEM involvement, and viewing of The X-Files"

Early in my University time I always felt most productive when sketching out my day in Google calendar, then keeping up with that plan and if necessary, adjusting it.
For a long time I was envisioning something that would allow me to follow that workflow but without the browser window or telling Google my plans, ideally in the terminal, ideallyer something as nice to use as Vim.
When I sat down to learn Go I decided to make that my project and, although messy, it's become my longest-running (though sporadically developed) personal project.
Realistically, I wouldn't suggest anybody use this except to try it, but for myself it is really useful and a fun project to tinker with sometimes.
for anybody who is wondering, the typst web app is a smoother user experience, having had to use overleaf for some smaller projects only, ive found it slightly janky, sometimes, probably owed to how slow and strange latex compilation can be. I'm sure the typist web app lacks some cool project management features that overleaf may offer, since it's a more mature platform, but with how much nicer typst is compared to latex, I think any shortcomings the web app may have are offset by that. but for sufficiently technical people collaborating via git is imo nicer than any web app.
