The programming language popularity contest is down to #Rustlang🦀 vs #Python🐍. (At the time of this post, the snakes are slithering ahead of the crabs.) #ITWorldCup #SocialMedia #software #engineering #tech
New technical bloggage from @ewg118 : "Improving searchability using Natural Language Processing and Wikidata"
https://numishare.blogspot.com/2026/01/improving-searchability-using-natural.html
> The Python Natural Language Processing Toolkit and FastAPI form the foundation for new, major improvements in the searchability of various numismatic projects, beginning with American Numismatic Society type corpora such as OCRE and Hellenistic Royal Coinages. These improvements currently apply to all online type corporate published by the ANS and are slowly reindexing in the ANS collections database, MANTIS, to improve large swath's of the ANS's collection of Greek and Roman coins that have been linked to these coin type URIs. This work began in the fall and was finally put into production over the course of December 2025.

Lots of good programming languages out there, but I doubt we'll ever get one with the elegance and simplicity of #Lisp (I bucket here all derivates like #Clojure as well).
Sadly, most other languages suffer from an ever growing syntax complexity. Many people call the syntax of a language like #Python “simple”, but I think they actually mean it's "familiar” / “sensible" to most programmers and non-programmers. Simplicity and familiarity are two pretty different concepts, though.
Which languages do you like/favor for their simplicity?
I have added more quotes from @timbl book This is for everyone.
Did you know that Python could have been driving browsers instead of Javascript?

Rust is currently leading 51% to 49% against #Python in the grand final, with just a 27 vote gap...
This is going to be another tough 11 hours, so vote now and boost!
We tested negative slicing and finally got the slice working.
Python is can mislead you; use == for value checks.
None is not False in Python, even if both feel false.
Use a backslash to add indentation or your code errors.
In Python, True equals 1, so True times 10 is 10.
Double not turns empty lists false and non empty lists true.
