Programmers make the same Faustian bargain with all these "safe" languages.
No, please, don't let me touch memory! It's too dangerous. Give me a nice bubble wrapped playpen to "program" in.
- xandrius 1y agoWhat a weird take, here we're discussing fighting the duopoly and hegemony of 2 US companies dictating what and how to use our own devices. Complaining about programming languages which allow me not to think of malloc bugs when making something not critical makes no sense whatsoever.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 1y agoIt's trading freedom for safety in a different domain no? We deride normies for preferring their closed down operating systems and mobile devices yet make our own freedom/safety trade in our own domain.
