I do have the theory that the more untyped the language is, the larger the islands are: Fronterra (JavaScript), Cloudderra (YAML), AILandia (Python) are way big

I do have the theory that the more untyped the language is, the larger the islands are: Fronterra (JavaScript), Cloudderra (YAML), AILandia (Python) are way bigger than Java, Swift, DotNet, etc. even though the prejudice saying goes that the problem of software engineering is stale old enterprise code in Java/DotNet.
That might be the case, but the libraries seems to be more reusable!
- brabel 2y agoJavascript made the barrier to entry for creating a package nearly zero. In contrast, it's fairly difficult to publish something on Maven Central (the main Java repository). You need to prove you own a domain, setup a GPG key for signing, manually register with Sonatype, which is more than many people are willing to do. I think that explains it much better.
