- weego 2y agoit seems to mostly be heated debates on whether servers can handle rending entire webpages, or that's ridiculous and we need to use react.
- fidotron 2y agoThat or yet another k8s homelab experiment to deploy something rewritten in rust. We seem to be stuck in a tarpit of reinventing tactics, but there hasn’t been a major strategic shift for over a decade. I am part of the problem, posting links to the obsessive recreation (not by me) of old arcade machines.
- rednafi 2y agoOh, I’m glad this Rust fad has died down. Rust is great, but it’s not replacing C or C++. The most annoying part of this fanaticism, though, was that people were legitimately proposing Rust as an alternative to Go or Python. Those two solve completely different sets of problems. Also, there are startups that failed because the founders decided to ditch Go, Python, or JavaScript for Rust. Now, they can’t hire people, and no one wants to deal with the mess.
- rsynnott 2y agoArguably that's part of the problem; the industry almost _requires_ there to be a new thing at all times, to justify lavish forward valuations. In the absence of a concrete New Thing, _something_ is still required, and LLMs, for now, fit the bill.
