Worse is Better - Jeremy Ornelas


Listen Later

In this episode of Deeply Intents, Jeremy traces the evolution of programming languages starting with Lisp. We explore Lisp's role in AI development, the AI winter, and why static languages like C and Rust dominate today instead of live systems like Lisp. Jeremy breaks down Anoma as a distributed OS challenging Unix's paradigms, along with the benefits of live hackable systems realized with Anoma Level. We then weave through systems design, specs driven software development, and the limitations of blockchain programming environments.
