- oaiey 3y agolibuv brought .NET to Linux. Will never forget that. Without libuv that story would not have been such a success. Thank you!
- goodpoint 3y ago> libuv brought .NET to Linux. Will never forget that. Is that a very good thing or a very bad one?
- 5e92cb50239222b 3y agoIt allowed our shop to drop Windows almost everywhere, so depends on your worldview. The platform itself is nice, although I too don't like the company, and probably never will.
- oaiey 3y agoIt is a good thing. .NET is a wonderful stack nowadays. The company overlord is sometime what he is but generally behaving.
- benatkin 3y agoUnderrated by whom? Is Deno giving up C goodness for Rusty goodness a mistake? I don't think so but it seems to be another time that a big improvement comes with a big drawback. To me libuv seems highly rated and it deserves to be highly rated. I'm not sure how to quantify it exactly to say whether it's fairly rated, underrated, or overrated, but it seems like it's in the ballpark as far as ratings go.
- moralestapia 3y agoI'd add it to the CS curricula, it's that good. Also, a polling loop + how to properly use it should be something as fundamental as pointers, linked lists, ..., all that stuff.
- benatkin 3y agoExcellent, makes sense. And keep C in the CS curricula. I'm for that. I also see how libuv must be underused in C code. That indeed makes it underrated. Got it.
