Yeah, I'm not a fan of Google at all. I like companies that keep "don't be evil" in their Mission Statement. No Rust here. Never cared for Java, its generics

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Google at all. I like companies that keep "don't be evil" in their Mission Statement. No Rust here. Never cared for Java, its generics were crap, then .NET v2 was here with F# and, welp, Java's boxed ints were crap, too, so nope. No TypeScript. Javascript was built in a week (or something); ubiquity is not to be confused with good design. So, no node, too, in case you were curious. C and C++?!? I used C in 1990 in OS class recompiling the Minix kernel for assignments. No Microsoft there, bro. VS Code is not welcome in my home, either. No Linux kernel? No biggie, I prefer OpenBSD anyway. Does it run vi, C/C++, and Python3? Of course it does. I'm good to go, dude. I hope you enjoy your adware version of Windows, which is going to be ALL versions of Windows.

For better or worse, it's time to realize it's not the 90s, 00s or even 10s anymore. I use macOS as a main device with Linux and Windows for verifying and measuring behavior specific to their environment, while doing so from VS Code. I have a friend who has his home server farm hosted on FreeBSD, still using .NET. Oh, and luckily most of the tools I use are not subject to ideological and political infighting. I like when the technology can be relied on being supported in the future and be developed in a stable manner without sudden changes of project governance or development teams. The added bonus is not having to suffer from the extremely backwards and equally sad state that Python and C/C++ find themselves in tooling-wise. Python is somewhat fixed by uv, C/C++ - not so much.
