Yeah the people throwing up their hands about ppl not understanding the tech are raging at a strawman. It’s also a BS argument that acceptable behaviour is only what the tech allows.

I know.

No they’re not confused. I’ve seen a lot of these discussions on Mastodon. They don’t misunderstand the tech, they’re actively trying to curate a community.

It’s not confusing. People just have different ideas about what the experience should be

You didn’t read the article obviously. And/or have an axe to grind

It would have been a good option. As is Java. If you want to do it in Go, go ahead.

Oh right, that’s a much less moronic take. Well done genius

That wasn’t a memory safety issue, that was a what the fuck were you thinking design issue. It would have been batshit in any language

Wow. It’s amazing that anyone ever got anything to work in java. Must have never got used for anything

Yeah I agree. Rust is an excellent language when you absolutely must be as safe as possible but don’t want garbage collection. But there is a level of precision required of developers which makes it slower to development in. Other languages like Java, Python and Go are all quicker to develop in. Java is much easier to refactor IMO

BS

If you don’t want to contribute, don’t. Do you think being a hater is helpful?

It’s probably got the best library/tooling ecosystem of any language out there. Certainly dwarfs Rust in that regard. Easier to find devs. Reasonably efficient thou not as much as Rust and typically less memory efficient. It’s a perfectly good suggestion for a project like Lemmy. I’d reach for Java or Go before Rust for a project like this but you know, that’s just me.

I did a lot of Java prior to doing Go. I think they’re both good. I don’t like the Go privacy/scope thing and I genuinely hate it’s error handling but it’s pretty much 90% good pragmatic choices IMO. That said, I still think Java is a fantastic language and it makes a lot of sense for something like Lemmy

Or, bare with me… It’s being a wanker

That’s bullshit, frankly

A year in which the number of Java developers and ecosystem dwarfs that of Rust.

Which is why the fediverse has a culture of respecting different communities needs.

If people have set up communities that work with standards that you don’t like, you don’t have to be part of it. Equally you don’t get to dictate standards for them.

Firstly, climate change requires multiple solutions, this is just one of many. Secondly, methane is one of the gasses we can make the most change the quickest with. Thirdly, cow burps contain a lot of methane and it’s pretty easy to reduce that with food supplements . It’s actually pretty clever. Not sure why you’re being so dismissive.
