Some analysis about the fact: https://www.pymnts.com/meta/2024/making-sense-of-metas-move-...

"At the worst jobs, infrastructure was king ... At the best jobs ... We became experts in the domain".

Didn't the world agreed already that the new Pseudocode Language was Python?

Sad that in that front page, there is no one reference to Nix.

They should at least give credit.

There used to be something on the front page, but the result was that too many people thought it was just a nix language replacement when it really was its own implementation of the packaging model that nix pioneered. The Guix documentation gives full credit to nix where it is due. The founder of the project spent years contributing to nix.

Too much casualty that Asana is suffering a DoS problem right now.

It doesn't advise only for saving bytes, but also for scannability, which is greatly enhanced following that advise.

Shouldn't Forth be in hype again due IoT?

It appears that the current gen of "IoT" is built on cheap SoCs which run Linux.

Linux is millions of lines of C code already, so using Forth in that context feels a bit ridiculous.

Cheaper SoCs like Arduino and Cortex-M3 run bare metal runtimes, just like on the old days.

But yeah, I guess for single units people will just shell out 10 euro more and use a Linux capable unit.

However there are options to use better languages than C or C++ for bare metal embedded development, but none of them tends to be Forth, rather Basic, Pascal, Ada, Java, .NET, Oberon variants.
