Eventually it might. We don't have any good ideas about what would help without things getting much worse.
What we do need now is finally the determination to fight climate change. We have all the tools at our disposal to eliminate any fossil fuel burning within some years. We should finally take this as the priority it should be.
I think the best explanation, how Lisp macros are different from most other macro system is, that a Lisp macro is a function executed during compilation. It gets fed the parameters passed to it in literal form and then computes the source to actually compile by the compiler.
The power of this is that this function is also written in plain Lisp and it also sees all definition already existing in your Lisp image. Also, it is completely unlimited in power. So while being run, or as it is called "during macro expansion" the function could google for one of the things passed and use the result to create the output. Of course, this is not a practical example, but shows how flexible the system is.
That might be, on the other side, I consider Lisp highly readable, but quite a few modern languages quite unreadable. For example parsing type signatures with a complex syntax.
Any style of writing you are not familiar with will require a lot of training. Try reading anything written in the Greek alphabet for example.
A bit, but then, it was sold by Apple and some people saw a need for it. Like having tons of memory and of course, being x86-compatible also has its uses. That is, why Rosetta 2 exists.
Applying the 7 year support window, they should support it till 2030. Especially, as it was the most expensive hardware sold.
The comparison with "primary energy" misses the inefficiency of the usage of fossil fuels. If you electrify the main uses of fossil energy, the efficency goes up by like a factor of 3 - electric cars vs. ICE, heat pumps vs. burning fuels.
Yes, it is a long journey until the whole energy consumption is moved to renewables, but running the electric grid of a country like Germany to way over 60% on renewables is an important point on the way there.
Over 40% of the German landmass is currently used to produce food for farm animals. The space requirement for solar is far off from that. And you can use rooftops etc.
Heating with heat pumps is highly efficient and already the cheapest way of heating your home. The grids are ready for it - especially considering the amount of residential solar.
The latest Mac Pro really didn't make much use of its size, as there were too few useful things to put into. Especially as the GPU is now part of the package anyway. Also, the Mac Studio is the perfect workstation for the desk.
Still, there are a few things which could be improved relative to the current Studio. First, the ability to easily clean the internals from dust. You should be able to just lift the lid and clean the computer. Also, it would be great to have one Mac which you could just plug in a bunch of NVMe disks.
On the other side, they might replace the Mac Pro with a rack mountable machine as the demand for ARM servers in the cloud raises.
