What's funny is Java solved an issue that is pretty much non-existent in today's environment: compatibility.

It's much less like the Wild West these days. People have a clearer picture of what to support, how to support it, and generic tools to abstract platform-specific code.

I like Java. I think they did good things and had a pragmatic approach to the problems they were trying to solve.

But time goes on, and this young discipline progresses fast. It'll be interesting to see decades from now what languages survive and which ones don't.

I predict as time goes on, we'll get fewer big languages (popular, widespread, useful, etc.) and they will stick around for much longer.

Kind of like human language, if you think about it.

I don't really thing the security 'guarantees' of rust matter that much.

I think it's a better language to work in than C or C++, though. That's not a reason to change utilities now, but a larger Rust ecosystem is always better in my humble opinion.

This is the cold, sad truth of Linux.

Unfortunately, when a company does not meet your standards, the solution is not to give them your money. Not to lower your standards.

Most big companies have feedback channels for customers on their websites.

What company are you talking about in particular?

Smart business move.

I believe it.

The difference here is that one side has been constantly provoking and the other side has been constantly trying to create safety for themselves.

Did you know Israel and Egypt have been blockading Gaza since 2007?

Oh don't get me wrong, I talk about how ridiculously expensive traveling is all the time. Anyone who engages in this sort of behavior has no right to complain about 'not having enough money', yet they routinely do. Lol.

Some people just don't know the difference between needs and wants.

Shut the fuck up bitch.

Come on man, there's no need to be doing that.

Remember, whoever buys this, for whatever price, feels like they're entitled to that money while children go without: food, water, shelter, electricity, and education.

They also have armies of useful idiots to defend them in the vain hopes they can join them.

Are you suggesting we only do what is easy?

Weird how we're using tax dollars for someone else's investments, lol.*

I guess it would make sense if the buildings were publicly owned, but instead they're going to be owned by someone who charges as much rent as possible while expending as few resources as possible to do it.

*not weird at all. The one time democrats and republicans unite on anything is when we're funneling money to the ruling class.
