When there's a vacuum like that, that is also an opportunity for folks to make a significant impact.
Compare to other communities where you need to stand out from the noise.
- hk__2 1y agoThis usually ends up in a situation where most of the significant libraries for the language are abandoned GitHub repos with 13 stars and no documentation ("You just have to read the code!!1!").
- ivanjermakov 1y agoAbandoned (finished) with no docs (read/copy/hack the source). I'm surprised how devs are afraid to look behind the curtain of a library/os/compiler.
- scuff3d 1y agoPerfect examples of glass-half empty vs glass-half full kinds of people.
- lifthrasiir 1y agoThat's plus for individuals but minus for languages. Personal anecdote: I was exactly there a decade ago when I was working on Chrono, now one of best-known date and time libraries in Rust. Since I was simply my own, my design was not as good as it could have been. Of course it is still much better to have a suboptimal Chrono, but I can't deny that it remains and probably will remain suboptimal due to my design a decade ago.
