In general, I believe that Copilot saves time while coding and I primarily use it as a “tab completion on steroids”. The core problem is, as with all text output generated by large language models, that Copilot has no notion of certainty and will always produce an answer. https://www.alexanderjunge.net/blog/pyscript_hype_or_real/ Sun, 08 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.alexanderjunge.net/blog/pyscript_hype_or_real/ PyScript was announced on April 30th 2022 at PyCon US by Peter Wang, CEO of Anaconda Inc., and in an accompanying blog post. The announcement sparked a lot of interest and excitement in the Python community and generated a lot of hype. First off, PyScript is not a JavaScript replacement (and it does not want to be). PyScript instead aims to further democratize the superpower of programming by bringing Python to every browser - which is a very important goal and I very much hope this will work out.
