The article is an extended admission of series of bad decisions leading to problems so bad they feel they need to switch programming language to try to patch up after. If there were not fundamental problems they have failed to address adequately for years, none of this would even be under discussion.
It is face-saving to blame the programming language, but we should not be fooled. Canonically, the good craftsman does not blame the tool.
- insanitybit 4y agoPretty much nonsense, really. Given the herculean effort Google has put into Chromium to deal with these sorts of problems and the massive investment they've made in C++ it should not be taken lightly at all that they're choosing any other language for a project that has been using it for decades. > Canonically, the good craftsman does not blame the tool. Yeah that's so true, that's why we build our sky scrapers by bashing rocks into wood and walling it up with dried feces and dirt, right?

- insanitybit 4y agoWell my first pass at a post was to tell you that you sound like a dumbass, so be glad you got what you got.
