You’re telling me you would be as likely to contribute to a project hosted in CVS as compared to git (and on GitHub)?

- sph 3mo agoNo, but making a codeberg account, seemingly the second most popular forge in the world, is not that huge effort.
- vopi 3mo agoI agree. It's possible in the future a project hosted on codeberg is a silent "stamp of quality". Though, I still think there could be impact wrt a network effect.
- crabmusket 3mo ago> second most popular forge in the world This is absolutely brutal to GitLab
- kanwisher 3mo agonever once seen a link to codeberg, at least gitlab or god forbid source forge still gets linked to on occasion
- miyoji 3mo agoI don't care if it's on GitHub at all, it's not hard to work with any arbitrary git remote. CVS would be a weird choice, but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker on its own. Fossil or some other modern alternative VCS wouldn't be a red flag or weird at all. But I wasn't talking about contributing to the language, which is a weird standard to use here since Zig isn't interested in outside contributors. I was talking about choosing a programming language for use for some professional or personal project. I don't give a fig what version control solutions the team chooses to use if the language is good and solves my problems, and I would consider it very strange if someone tried to argue that I shouldn't use some language because they put their code on a non-Microsoft owned server.
- vopi 3mo agoI generally agree with you that choosing something based on where it's hosted is dumb. I still think there could be an impact wrt a network effect. The original comment you replied to was talking about "the loss of network effect" and you sounded dismissive of it. It might not even matter, but I think it's somewhat fair to say it could have an impact.
