That's exactly what I tell my friends. I can't play certain games, because they don't run on Linux and even if they did, I am not gonna install a rootkit to run them.

Interesting. I am happy with wasmtime though. Hacking on a wasm component model and wasi based plugin system these days. Having loads of fun. (I am aware of extism, but I am doing it for the fun :))

I am sure you understand that I gave one, namely the latest, example of my experiences with ORMs over more than a decade and a half in various projects and tech stacks. They all ended the same way and whenever I have a say, I'll oppose

I need to rewrite the parts that are broken and without going into too much details: it's a lot of code where we had no problems with hundreds of rows but now with thousands (so nothing, lol, I've worked on projects with hundreds

As said, they have cost me too much time and money already, moreso as other devs on the team(s) lent heavily into certain features and I had to rewrite a lot of code.

ORM has never worked for me in any language. Sooner or later we always hit the n+1 query problem which could only be resolved by a query builder or just plain old sql. It always was a mess and these days I can't be bothered to try it e

I never understood why people care about dependencies that much. Either I write the code myself, or I pull in a dependency. Compile times I agree with though.

It's not about concepts, it's not about language constructs but the overall work and mental load working with the languages. For me it's header files, no package manager, doing pointer magic all the time (void pointers are...

I would love a much simpler Rust...a Zig with a borrowchecker, a small stdlib (like Rust), some official package manager. I agree that Rust has a lot of syntactic warts but the common stuff I find beautiful

To me C is much, much harder than Rust. I've written both, albeit way more Rust.

Aha, so you're saying that asymmetric marketing is bad (I agree) and as proof you put up some other asymmetric marketing, namely an influencer`s video... Hard pass :)

No it's not, but when humans have invested too much (emotions or money) they do not retreat easily. They rather go all in. It's just another hype, people. Just like Client/Server, Industry 4.0, Machine Learning, Microservices

No, it's fine if I have to pay (but I said as much in my initial post, didn't I?). A kotlin project paid my bills for a long time, so I am totally fine investing 200bucks/year. But I don't want to use IdeaVim anymore, I

I loved JetBrains IDEs years back. These days I am mostly using NeoVim. I decided today to stop supporting JetBrains BECAUSE there is no good kotlin language server. I would gladly pay them money even if I don't use their IDEs if only

Absolutely. I want the basic functionality to work without JS. But we have a working application and users are not hating it and used to it. We rely on modals heavily. And for that I added (custom) JS. It's way simpler than alternative

I am currently de-javascripting a React app of some project I am working on. It's a blast. It's faster and way more resilient. No more state desync between frontend and backend. I admit there is a minimum of javascript (currently

I have a different take on this: It depends on what you're actually building. For the business applications I build SSR (without any JS in the stack, but just golang or Rust or Zig) is the future. It saves resources which in turn saves
