Amazing how RMS is now on the traditional end of traditional to disruptive.

I use C#, GitHub and arch...

(I am replacing GitHub once my homelab server is set up though)

I was about to say C# seems to be in a weird spot here.

It's entirely FOSS. It does of course have corporate daddy providing dev resources for it but it definitely is not anywhere near the location for proprietary as Java.

It should be well and truly on the same side of this graph as Rust.

On the other hand, if you try to run Java application on linux, you just use an appropriate OpenJDK runner.

When you see a C# app, you just:

Open the app folder
See a bunch of .dll's
Cry

TS, JS, Java, and Codium are proprietary?

[-] Hack3900@lemy.lol 8 points 2 months ago

I don't think Codium is on this image

Is bit keeper even still around anymore?

Language choice has nothing to do with foss vs proprietary.

[-] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago

Apple's preferred languages definitely have a smaller foss footprint than say c or rust or go

it's definitely generalized, but I'd say I fit the disruptive open source type, though i respect the trad open source guys a lot.. But, like.. as of currently, I can't even call myself an actual programmer seeing as I write stories instead of code nowadays..

Definitely would like to balance the two someday.

[-] notarobot@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Emacs, icecat, guix, parabola, c, c++. Stallman. What are the others in that quadrant?

[-] Baleine@jlai.lu 7 points 2 months ago

GNU Savannah and old thinkpads that can run with fully free software.

Love that the Guix logo is included!

Freedom is to proprietary as libertarian is to authoritarian. Tradition is to distruption as political right is to political left. Better would be for the x axis to be left-to-right disruption->tradition and the y axis to be bottom-to-top freedom->proprietary. So, rotated 90° counterclockwise and then mirrored left-to-right.

I think there's a healthy amount of bs in there (Chrome, C# as traditional?), but some of it checks out. I like a mix of old and new but try to stay away from proprietary. Current favorites are probably Emacs, NixOS, and Rust.
