So much complexity to put some pictures on a screen and have people click 'like'.
It's dizzying.
I wonder if build-system complexity is an artifact of reducible complexity in other areas.
Perhaps the next time we develop a language, it should comprise of it's own build system that doesn't require any configuration, or rather minimal. To the point wherein we didn't need to think that much beyond the obvious.
- SmirkingRevenge 10y agoI think a few people had that same thought, and then invented Golang. Love it or hate it, building a typical go app, or even a suite of apps, is pretty darn simple. If you can get by using only go for everything, you'll have a great time. But complexity starts to become unavoidable when requirements move beyond single-language ecosystems. At some point simplicity can end up costing more.
