How has ownCloud development compared to NextCloud since the split?
Since a couple years ago they abandoned the php version (=nextcloud) and they are in the process of a complete rewrite in go, which that means is faster and uses less resources but all existing plugins need to be rewritten too, and given the small user base nobody is going to do that.
PHP will outlive us all.
And Java will still be active long after the heat-death of the universe
If python is still around why not?
Just to support all the COBOL.
Ooh interesting, never knew they started a rewrite!
The reports of poor performance with the PHP version was one of the things that pushed me towards using Syncthing instead when I was looking for a solution to view my documents and files from various devices
Hold on... owncloud is in go? I have much higher hopes for that. PHP is terrible, even to manage.
they call it "owncloud infinite scale" but for some reason they don't clearly specify that it's designed for performance, and it has nothing to do with the previous version. They even start the introduction page with this:
If you read that a platform is based on their knowledge and experience with PHP, would you guess that they're talking about a complete rewrite in go?
