So this is funny because I was trying to figure out what Darklang is and what its used for, so i was looking at its doc. The page for usecases/limitations [0] says

> Dark is really good for building web applications, APIs, and things that speak HTTP. Dark is not intended to be usable for embedded systems, to run existing applications in existing languages, or for code that needs to be extremely high performance.

> Similarly, Dark does not have support for many use cases such as bitcoin/crypto, AI/big data, image or video manipulation.

lol.

Anyways, some bold claims in here.

> Do we expect that in 3-5 years time developers will still be typing out artisanal code at a keyboard? I struggle to see it. With recent announcements like ChatGPT Plugins and Copilot X, even three years feel generous

I wonder how true that is.

lol, that's funny. Looks like we're going to have to make it good for some of those things! In particular, AI uses a bunch of memory and specialized machines/GPUs if we're going to be training models or running our own, and our previous interpreter model (running on small-ish VMs with a few gigs of RAM) are clearly not suitable for that. We might end up using services for this though.
