The quote does say that Altium does it out of the box though? With KiCad you had to write a script and learn how the format works. Could also be introduced as a patch to upstream and have everyone benefit from it, but that's less time spent working on the circuit

There's definitely something to be said about emacs being stuck in time. However, everything under the sun is just a half-baked clone of something emacs already had, except for text-editing :^)

There used to be an actual Microsoft math solver, kind of a school version of Matlab. I don't know if they still offer it on the website, but it would've been useful for me back in school

Prolog is such a bizarre language. Part of my undergraduate studies involved learning about various programming paradigms (and new languages) and that included SWI prolog. We covered it as an example of logic programming, in the 21st century, and to this day I do not understand how it remains in current memory.

I've been told it historically was used for machine learning research, but at least lisp had a more natural structure.

I'd like to describe it as programming using a single yet very long ternary operator chain. But I don't think I'm proficient enough to say so.
