This is neat, and it's important to iterate on things we take for granted like what terminal emulator we use.
But a larger question, at what point do we focus on the novelty of the project, not that it was written in a specific language?
- w323898 8y agoOnce we've rewritten everything in go. More realistically, once the language is stable and known enough that these things become uninteresting.
- danaur 8y agoCould you elaborate? I don't understand what you are implying
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y ago> the novelty of the project, not that it was written in a specific language? That is the novelty:) Don't worry; we'll tire of Go in 1-50 years;)
- pmarin 8y agoI don’t think your question has any sense in a forum with the word “Hacker” in the title.
- pjmlp 8y agoWhen you cannot do X in language Y stops being an issue.
- scarejunba 8y agoIt’s so that we, hackers, can see if it’s worth looking at the source. Personally I look at the source of Go or Rust projects because I’m not top proficient in the languages and it’s a way I can learn idioms. In fact, since this is for a developer audience, I’d wonder why you wouldn’t say what language something is in.
