WORKED

Only unlike sh it's actually a full normal programming language that can do basically everything the shell can do only in a far more readable and sane way.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: General programming and scripting as a more readable alternative to shell

WORKED

The per-tenant ML model approach is really interesting... The fact that each customer gets their own baseline model that evolves over time is a strong technical moat.

Product Hunt • ProductHunt • Use case: Monitoring security threats with a per-tenant ML model to reduce alert fatigue by establishing a unique baseline for their environment.

FAILED

Yes, awk and sed were replaced by Perl, but more importantly, the unmaintainable nightmare that glued all of it together was wiped out.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Part of a complex, glued-together automation system that became unmaintainable.
