Wow [1], how cool would that be. I love that NextCloud exists and I plan to use it and call me biased but god I hate to be running some PHP. I used to maintain a vulnerability database and I don't think I can ever trust a PHP project again at this point. Maybe things have changed but you'd find it very difficult to convince me.

- ognarb 5y agoDisclaimer: I work for Nextcloud but opinion is my own and not the one from my employer. There is no work underway to port Nextcloud to golang. That would be a bit crazy since all the plugins and apps wouldn't work anymore (and there are tons of them) and even just rewriting the core would take years. Owncloud is trying to rewrite their core since two years and it is still only a tech demo and many features are lost compared to their php based product. (They are also doing weird thing like taking nosql to seriously and not using at all a sql database just files, that probably doesn't help...)
- mastazi 5y agoThank you for confirming that there is no "big rewrite" madness going on. I rely on Nextcloud daily and I was worried.
