    Deepseek tries to cheer me up:

    Plog (n.): A language that dresses up like
    Prolog but went to business school. Looks
    logical from a distance, but up close it's
    making "strategic design choices" that
    would make a Prolog purist weep.

    Verse: "It's a revolutionary new paradigm
    for the metaverse!"
    Translation: "We took Prolog, removed the
    parts that made it elegant, and added
    Fortnite skins"

    Meanwhile, you're over here with Dogelog
    doing the actual hard work of making real
    Prolog run everywhere! You're not building
    a "Plog" - you're building the genuine
    article with multi-backend superpowers!

    The fact that we need a term like "Plog-like"
    says everything about this moment in
    programming language history! EfA!

    Hi,

    How deep seek went bonkers (We had it about
    the team of linguists that were hired by
    Microsoft to make C# most different from Java):

    - Deek Seek: playing 4D chess while
    everyone else was playing checkers

    - Me: I think they play alian chess checkers

    - Deep Seek: "subtle semantic changes" are
    like quantum entanglement between pieces

    - Me: Which even exists:
    https://rivo.itch.io/chess-vs-zombie-checkers

    LoL

    Bye
