Cradicle’s web interface improves security by keeping all the complex functionality in the HTML server and serving pure scriptless HTML to web browsers instead.

That isn't really any more secure.

I hear it allows more control over compiler behavior

Not in a good way - more like a "oh good what compiler flags do I need to mess with to make this code work?" way 😄

there should be radicle apps in multiple coding languages, like there are BitTorrent apps in multiple coding languages.

Reasonable. C is still a poor choice though.

Is Tor really "straightforward"? It sounds anything but.

Also C? In 2026? Radicle seems to be written mostly in Rust, with Typescript for the web interface. Why on earth would you want to downgrade to C?

Also I believe Mold only supports ELF.

And based on the benchmarks they've posted, Wild is even faster than Mold.

Lol, I know absolutely nothing about Postman but seriously suggesting Bash scripts, curl and grep as a way to test APIs is a nice way to tell people not to bother listening to your worthless opinions!

A Python script is far more reasonable.

What I always really wanted was some kind of linker script debugger. Let me step through the linker script, show me all the input objects & segments etc.

Linker scripts are one of the worst aspects of the GNU (and LLVM) toolchain. Weird custom language, poor documentation, quite buggy, zero debugging tools.

Anyway, impressively huge release!

They're not over yet but they definitely have an uncertain future.

Yeah I would say issues are minimal lock-in since they barely have any features (just labels I guess?) and can easily be exported. CI must be the biggest lock-in. If you have a complex CI system that makes use of lots of third party actions it could be a decent amount of work to migrate it. But not a huge amount.

GitHub lets you pay with their vendor lock-in and your data.

What vendor lock-in? GitHub barely has any.

Codeberg is great, but let's not pretend that it's a replacement for GitHub. Notably they don't allow private repos and can't offer free CI (not in the same way as GitHub anyway). Plus, I don't see how they would be immune to the slopnami either if they became popular.

Best case would be if GitHub survives and just improves their reliability. I would not be surprised if they start imposing some kind of stricter limits on free accounts though.

I can’t get the person in charge of the repo to let us run the CI automatically on PR

Ouch. Time for a new job. (I'm not even joking - I'd quit if it was that bad.)

Yeah if you saw the quality of my coworkers' code you would not be saying this.

I agree. What we need is better PR workflows, not getting rid of review entirely. That's dumb.
