I wonder if this is the case: the link shows a 320-page patent translated in 3 languages with a tremendous work behind it. It's definitely not patent-trolling.
What makes it more interesting to today's situation is that it was made by people from Institut Pasteur in France which is a reference in the field.
I understand that the name only as a title offers no context to those who don't know Maryam Mirzakhani. But HN rules seem to favor not editing the original titles of articles and make them click-baity.
"Atari Inc. had lent $500,000 to Amiga Corporation in 1984... Amiga was purchased in August 1984 by Commodore for $27 million -including paying off the Atari loan." [0]
So in an alternate possible reality, Amiga could have been released as an Atari brand.
Imagine an alternative 1987. IBM never bothered to enter the microcomputer market. Apple has yet to launch the Macintosh. A new generation of 16-bit computers aimed at people who grew up with 8-bit machines is on sale. The IIGS from Apple, the Amiga from Atari, the C65 from Commodore. But the MSX Turbo-R is still in development. There’s a small window of opportunity for another manufacturer to launch a 16-bit, Z80 instruction set compatible machine that can run Microsoft BASIC programs. The Chloe Corporation aims to take 8080 and Z80 users into the 16-bit era with the new Chloe 280SE.
I'd pay a fortune for living in such a parallel universe...
Back in the late-80s when I was a kid, I was fascinated by both the ST and Amiga. I bought several books about them and read everything I could find about their internals in computer magazines.
Unfortunately, my knowledge remained theoretical as they were too expensive for me. I had to invent tricks and find ways with the Z80 of my cheap home computer to simulate the marvels that could run on these 68000 power-horses!
It was a great, yet tedious exercise. I owe a lot to the nights spent trying to emulate some feature of the Amiga or the ST on my limited Z80 machine.
Hopefully, RFCs forced for a relatively long time the 'Open' nature of the Internet.
The low level protocols were saved from being proprietary. But companies moved the game to another space and things will only go worse with the globalization of the SaaS model.
Fast rewind/forward n years, and you could replace "Rust" in your post with the name of the language /du jour/.
My original comment was because as an old guy who saw hype around so many languages come and go, I am getting tired of those projects who try to sell themselves only because they are written in Rust.
So per your rationale, why not listing in the title other pertinent information about the project?
I am saying that because the programming language is not what defines a project. It could be a pile of junk even if it written in the greatest language ever made.
