Now, we can delegate such tasks, comment every functions, classes and variables to GPT-3 davinci or Codex with clever prompt as clear as possible, (ELI5, reasoning, anecdote, storytelling, metaphors, etc). I think that would definitely useful AI use case.
When Al-Khwarizmi explain Al-Jabr, he was using Islamic family inheritance analogy. In world of number, Imaginary and negative also were poorly understood at the beginning.

However, in the journey of Math, new concept of number usually unlock new knowledge even useful for other field of science. IMO surreal numbers in the video somehow will unlock another new fields.
I mostly agree with @antirez's hypothesis points, because I am also writing novel these days, I think on my journey I need to make strict structure, perhaps if any, something like writing software that has feature to make functional novel writing works because in programming I am fan of FP, not imperative nor OOP.
btw, Congratulations.. Looking forward to your sci-fi novel @antirez
Anyway, I love how redis evolved, and its design from the beginning from @antirez. That's why I am eagerly to read his another craft.
I agree with you. And we also need technology like dApps that don't cost when running it by opcodes -with its vm, but use hourly pricing like cloud based hosting, so it will run your software deliberately without throw decentralized capabilities and it will enable decentralized economy to the mass.
Previously, I was fullstack javascript developer using raw html with only express js and its renderer. Later I discovered ui and ux, react with dsl also graphql as data layer overwhelmed me. So I found simple stack for faster shipping. Learning curve is not that difficult I think.
