A friend is starting a new business, so I am curious to what [Wayback/Archive] Sonde — Arriving soon will bring (or brought if this post scheduling arrives later than their release).
Looking at the taglines below, I think is that this is an intelligent (unlike LLM “intelligent”) source analysis/probing tool.
The Arrival animation sequence at [Wayback/Archive] Sonde — Arrival attributes the software development past in 29 stages, all the way back from FORTRAN till the more recent Swift until finally showing the moon, hopefully indicating a release before the Artemis IV will land people on the moon:

I originally missed this as back then I was in the midst of managing trouble in my parental family, unaware I was already having rectum cancer. Then things went fast, not even including the Covid-19 years, so I was glad last year I got reminded of this mid-2019 article:
[Wayback/Archive] Alan Turing Wrote Object-Oriented Code In C And Ran It On BEAM – De Programmatica Ipsum writes a lot of interesting things on programming paradigms, starting with
In his rare 1994 book “Object-Oriented Programming In C” Axel Tobias Schreiner explains how to do inheritance, class methods, class hierarchies, and even how to raise exceptions using nothing else than pure, simple, pointer arithmetic-filled, ANSI C.
then arguing basically most of not all modern languages share the majority of programming paradigms and all these paradigms are repeats of the past:
But none of this is new. Smalltalk, arguably the precursor of object orientation, had collect and select methods which were the grandparents of our more common map and filter functional friends.
What sets modern languages apart is that they the majority covers all the paradigms you might need, just differing in how well they support the paradigm-du-jour.
It means programming language wars should have been a thing of the past for about two decades now.
Please let that sink in.
Oh: if you look for that ANSI C book, here it is: [Wayback/Archive] https://www.cs.rit.edu/~ats/books/ooc.pdf [Wayback PDF View/PDF View]

Many articles have been published on the Google Leaks earlier this year including a Twitter Thread by Henk van Ess. I will mention his and the original starting article which should give anyone hand and feet to dig deeper and assess for themselves how fast Google might be able to change this and get a feeling on much of it is still relevant over time.
A final note: I wasn’t aware that Google search used the Elixir (programming language) – Wikipedia. Cool!
