Isn't that only microsoft exclusive and closed source? Also does compiling it really yield the same speed as C, it is garbage collected isn't it?

KDE Plasma 6.0, and KDE Gear 24.02 released in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I don't know, I used gnome for a while and I just felt like I was using toy apps. But I think that comes down to personal preference. KDE definitly has the bigger apps like Kdenlive and Krita.

Yes, using them is probably the closest one can get to the macos ecosystem on Linux.

Python is overrated and overused. (lemmy.world)

Python is the most popular programming language and beloved by many. However I can't understand why (this is still the case in 2024).

Here are my main gripes with it:

  • It is slow, performance intensive tasks have to be offloaded to other languages, which makes it complicated to analyse. Moreover I wonder how many kwH could have been saved if programms were written in more performant languages. (and there are better alternatives out there)
  • The missing type system makes it easy to make errors, and the missing compiler makes it hard to catch them
  • It has no linear algebra built in, so you always have to convert things to numpy arrays, which is quite annoying
  • Managing virtual environments and pip packages feels overly complicated

I guess much comes down to personal, but I just can't understand the love for python.

The u-he synths are nice.

Reasonable well.

Getting plugins to install is often a big hurdle, if they are working, they work. However I think performance suffers alot. Didn't try it on any bigger synths yet tho.
