As we said, we don't hate Java. We were however constrained in what we could install on the host machines since we administrate these on behalf of others. Even lightweight dependencies were a no-go for us.
With regards to Apache, we have "mixed feelings". We're aligned with a lot of what they stand for and are definitely very thankful for what they enabled in the OSS community, but are not enthused with the way they handle the projects that join them.
- alanctgardner2 13y agoI get the mixed Apache feelings, but I still don't quite get the dependencies complaint. It seems like your clients have heterogeneous environments (multiple Linux distros, at least). Do you distribute a statically linked binary, or do they compile it on their box? It seems like in this case Go code is actually way more complex to set up.
- hunvreus 13y agoWe actually deal with a limited number of distros for now (mostly Ubuntu and RHE) and we distribute statically linked binaries (meaning no dependency at all).
