Can you point any useful, non-esoteric language with a thriving ecosystem where the internal team doesn't have problems? I don't think so. For real drama, check the history of some well-known compilers/suites (such as the whole gcc vs egcs debacle), you'd be amazed.
- pritambaral 5y agoThose dramas are a lot better than this. If I am being locked-in to a system, I'd much rather it was one of those than this Oracle wannabe.
- jpgvm 5y agoAll languages have had problems, some are resolved, some are not. Ruby I think has managed to avoid very material conflicts. Python hasn't, it's a comparative shit-show. Java had -huge- problems in the past but was able to move past them and is stronger for it. C# is in wait and see territory for me. I -really- love the language and tools but if I had to start a new company today I would probably go with JVM stack until this sort of stuff is sorted out. A few years from now I hope I will be saying the same about it as Java.
