Yeah now there are so many free programming languages, you have to pay me (with $ or an awesome language) to use your interpreter!

- rbanffy 9y agoIt's interesting how free software drove huge advancements. In the early 386 days few people used Unix because a seat license would cost more than the computer. At first I thought we were attaining a critical mass, when enough free software was available for us to build even more, better free software but now I realize it's more like an exponential curve I can't quite see where it ends. And if feels great.
- pjmlp 9y agoThe side effect of it is that the majority of RAD like tools are only available in enterprise space, because only those companies are willing to pay for developer tools. Hence why companies like Qt or JetBrains are selective what they allow with their free versions. Then we get Electron apps, because many devs don't feel like paying for such tools.
