You know what, you make a good point. It's only a matter of time before there's a mass shooting at a technical conference in America. I mean, we have them in schools, theatres, churches, malls, grocery stores, sports events, parades, concerts, parks, banks... why not a technical conference? Best avoid them altogether in America unless you're carrying.

In that case, I guess we can't use any languages made by corporations. As an independent language developer, I appreciate that your point of view can work out in my favor, so I can't really disagree with it!

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I will say that I currently do this. I use C, shell, and my own language. And for C, I use as many compilers as I can.
- ModernMech 4y agoI'm not being sarcastic. The idea that we shouldn't use languages produced by corporations because their goals don't align with users helps me. My first paragraph was 1 part sarcasm, 1 part cynicism, 2 parts accepting the grim reality of America.
