Doing audio in C is partly related to the IP protection, as with Rust it is hard to use LGPL in practice for libraries given static linking model.

There is cdynlib but is also ecosystem/culture question. I.e. stuff that I don't want to sacrifice for AI, I don't do with Rust :-)

Also, all these crates make you do really lousy code.

E.g., in my Tracker I just used ab_glyph dynamically to load TTF font and convert it to texture atlas. While doing C rewrite made me realize that I should probably instead use Python and Pillow to create atlas during the build time. Quite obvious but abstractions can blindfold you.

@pinkforest, cannot disagree with you ... unfortunately. It is also way to distance myself from trend, if nothing else I see psychological benefits.

I mean over-use of energy for AI will end. Again, unfortunately, it will more likely end into global natural disaster than anything else :-) Just when we were getting rid of fossil fuels, humankind invented new oil...

@pinkforest and my opinions about languages are by definition silly and more like bad hair day type of thing than any serious opinions :-) I have to use Rust ATM a lot at work so I guess it is way to distance from that.

@pinkforest i don't know the situation. if you have full copyright of all code you can relicense of course. Does not appear like that but dunno the context. I would contact legal entity e.g., https://www.fsf.org/licensing/team or legal@fsf.org.

I would also recommend to post issue to this MIT rewrite project to stamp this. Anyone can do this. Make it visibile.

E.g. my tracker project is good example of legit interop, which would stand any trial and even protected by e.g., EU laws so there's no need to. I'm not lawyer but for me that looks somewhat shady. These need to be really just brought more to the court. It's a new trend.

@pinkforest Given how "plain sight" that was perhaps LLM also told about clean room engineering. At least in my experience e.g., Gemini often describes and teaches stuff that is completely false it's like a thing with Google's AI how fucked up it is in its teachings :-) Very useful still for cross-checking specs etc. in "right hands" (apparently) :-)

And like even with Claude, I'm not going to blame the tech, could be useful for doing ports for simple projects that you (A) fully own rights to do that and (B) have ability to fully cross-examine the result. In order to act against bad actors I feel that balanced thinking of benefits and disadvantages and take legal action when require is way to go.

I'm just about to release LGPL 2.1+ DSO but not sure should I put threats of legal action to README + some passive aggressive grin :D

@pinkforest This makes me sure that for my small DAW project GPLv3 is the only right choice :-) It's outside App Store exclusive...

@pinkforest "An entity or group of entities" (zero idea) has spent also money on that. After some Claude replaces anyone news I took subscription for one month. Then I put it to do some analysis type of stuff and it always drained less 30 minutes 🤷 OK, it is targeted probably something more like "regular development work" but still must have had maybe few hundred bucks of cost. Smart investment :-) Doing worse than gambling with shitcoins is an achievement for sure...

@pinkforest money lost, reputation lost (or hopefully gets uncovered) and could get sued for fines with a smoking gun at plain sight to everyone...
