> Anyone trying to make a new mainstream language is completely insane, unless they're backed by a huge corporation. There are only two exceptions in the last 25 years that come close: Scala and Kotlin.

I'm absolutely not saying this to discredit the work that's gone into Clojure, Elixir et al, but it does lend credence to the idea of building for an existing ecosystem instead of bootstrapping your own (along with "seamless" interop as a first class concern)
If anyone can crack seamless interop between natively compiled languages to dodge ABI hell they'll earn a nice place in history
They should also hold prescribers accountable. As a certified physician you hold powers and responsibilities. In many countries these prescribers would lose their licence.

I don't understand how a hardware company who just reported its largest quarterly loss in history with revenue down 36% year-over-year [1] is working on fonts. Or maybe this explains that.
Companies compromise of multiple people. Different people can work on different projects. The design team may wish to improve the company image by releasing a font named after them that people may like, improving their public relations.
I understand your concerns. Our objectives are, on the contrary, to reduce the doctor/patient distance that was created by EHRs and all the required administrative processes. We already measure that when AI takes care of this stuff, doctors do better engage with patients.
