do you know of any definite optimist projects that offer alternative concrete visions on the future of computation than Dynamicland?
- Systems programming: Rust. A lot of positivity in the community for a future of safer, resilient software. - Interactive programming: Jupyter/Observable notebooks. Excitement from scientists, analysts, educators.

I feel like distributed systems desperately needs some definite optimism. At best indefinite, at worst very pessimistic. Feels like programming w/ fault tolerance/scalability is still a huge chore, no progress in sight, tools like Kubernetes help but also complicate.

There are some niche things that are very young still. New system being built by creating of Kdb, for instance. Too many things are being built by PL folks with good intentions but very limited empathy for users, who face an enormous complexity surface nowadays.

Too many people trying to supplant Python or replace C. Not enough working on Visicalc.
