Re: Git haas gone wild (Rust)

i'm not really good in this field, but if rust and go are so complex, why use them at all?

the idea of moving off of c was that it's less ways to shoot yourself into foot

maybe it's more ways now, complex frameworks, lot of muddy water. lot more attacks too nowadays. nation states want their share, etc

are we sure it solves anything? what if upgrade is downgrade?

nevermind that someone also needs to run it somewhere

also, how come it's still shameful to code in perl? i thought it was joke from 90s. what else is shameful, using tcsh? editing files with mcedit?

i don't have any strong feelings what editor, os, language anyone is using

but some of them are technologically difficult to use. i mainly use code on my machines. some code has heavy runtimes a libs. some projects are composed of 100 different components downloaded live from god knows which mitm'ed mirror and compromised repo with no sha512 taken of anything

js seems to be king in that. but also go

it's a wild world

i mean it's already problematic without artificially created issues 

many of those are as if trying to solve issues bug they create new

also, why not java? so noone can run git anymore. what's sad is that java is actually popular. it also has good ideas in it's design. but what's java usually blamed for? it just takes all memory away. it also had or has licensing issues which have limited it's use

so this is my perspective from purely trying to build code, their compilers and to run it. but that's important too. someone has to use it

someone might argue that computers are so powerful nowadays. but there are also smaller platforms now or just old hw

i wish to know how those decisions are made. can't be like programming language fashion or what? rust walks on catwalk? has coding become a peer pressure thing?

also, if c is so bad, why it didn't go extinct?

i bet noone has answers to this
