It's so rewarding to see my work cited in peer-reviewed papers. Today I found another one, published in the Journal of CIEES. Exactly the kind of motivation I needed to keep going with my next book—thanks to the authors for referencing one of mine!

"Python does have several advantages over many other languages. It is a relatively simple language that is easy to learn. Because Python is designed to be interpreted, it can provide the kind of runtime feedback that is especially helpful to novice programmers."

"Python is not optimal for programs that have high reliability constraints (because of its weak static semantic checking) or that are built and maintained by many people or over a long period of time (again because of the weak static semantic checking)" —John V. Guttag

My favorite change is that MariaDB got an improved implementation of the WHERE year(...) = ? rewriting. use-the-index-luke.com/blog/2024-12...

In picture: the green check mark used to be yellow, with the "a" footnote: Unconditionally rewritten — even if only a matching function-based index exists
