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:

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

Love that the Guix logo is included!

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.

rust is more proprietary than linus.

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

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.

Language choice has nothing to do with foss vs proprietary.

[-] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 7 points 5 days ago

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