I think when it comes to tooling, some Linux tools are actually BSD software that works because of POSIX compliance. An example is OpenSSH.
I mean, the way I see it he also has an economic incentive to endorse more AI everywhere.
On the other hand he seems to be one of the people actually pushing for saner legislation.
As much as I do like programming in Java, you have a good point.
Or anything that downloads code from an untrusted source…
Don’t any linux DE have something like a shortcuts app?
So many websites out there are built on Django, Flask, etc. (YouTube must have spent a decade using Python, Instagram, Threads etc. all use Python and optimize as they need).
Mojo is surfing on the AI hype, so only time will tell whether it lives to fulfill the expectation.
What I’ve noticed that happened in Brazil is that most major news channels have 2 websites: a subscription one with quality articles and a free one with very summarized AI lazily written news with no details or context.
There’s really not much to it, quality content needs money and ads don’t pay off for all of it (besides the fact nowadays people just blocks them).
I’m not much active in these communities, but I think there are a few which aren’t very popular but are enough for the job… I just remember that after the Unity outrage, people were recommending moving to Godot.
As a non game dev, does Flutter really offer anything compared to traditional 2D game engines? I thought most of them are also open source?
The whole article seems a bit forced with many topics that are present in most other languages too. I don’t think “Faster release cycle” is one reason Java got where it is today.
The problem is people are lazy and most places I’ve been, peoeple make bad commit messages and often very non informative.
Just as an example, I worked as a contractor with the biggest bank in Latin America before and basically all their server code is Java (with new code in Kotlin nowadays).
it’s a great language if you need to develop fast like Python
I think what’s more relevant question here is what about the ecosystem? The language itself can be good, but can you create some category of software in it that is better/easier than alternatives? I suppose it would take a long time for it to have a framework as complete or well documented like Python’s Django or PHP’s Laravel etc.
When blogs or people in forums promote some less used language they often focus on some specific good thing and leave out the inconveniences and the big picture, so these are questions I’d ask before adopting a different programming language.
That seems like it’s trying to be everything.
I might be wrong — who knows — but from that text I don’t think that is being made by passionate individuals trying to create a good product for the software community because they believe in it. It feels like some VC money grab that throws LLMs at the problem and already expects to be the next Facebook.
I have friends who work at the biggest bank in Latin America, where most backend stuff used to be Java. Nowadays all new code is written in Kotlin.
That’s a well designed compiler.
The biggest problem is that now it will be mass generated with little effort. Time to abandon Google if most of the web becomes ChatGPT generated articles. Better to talk to ChatGPT directly.
Problem is that requires carefully testing, and not every company wants to have a half-assed port that doesn’t have a good experience on the desktop.
