True for most devs that do any backend work. Many devs out there who work with Windows or do mostly front end often have little experience in that domain. Seeing alot of work get done at uni by students - who also actually some backend (fri

I made a mistake man, thanks for the back up though. I had an old java based chat client in mind that I used a long time ago and had a similar name.

Hmm, you're right. I had a different client in mind and confused the two - can't remember what it was called now, tried to Google but it might have died along time ago. Hell even xchat is now hexchat. Weechat seems to be a pretty

Apples and oranges - wee Is gui. Irssi is cli. It's "wee" - so it's minimal. Does a good job for its niche. Cli chat clients are more flexible, with all the complexity that brings with it - but they're usually robus

This. Somewhere there was drawn a line - education for work, and education for science. Nearly everyone think both are the same. Leading to thinking publish or perish being ok even if it's shit work.

k-anonimity is an awesome concept, and truly the only way to protect outselves these days - it's however difficult to successfully implement. glad to see more software out there based on this concept.

I don't see a problem with proper use of qualifiers. It has to be said that I'm a "right tool for the job" kind of man, and spend less time worrying about the perfect-ness of a language. Can't think of a better lang

If it's written spartan style, yes. If you go nuts with its dark corners things do get wierd. It's why it's a hard labour to write safely - and a contributing reason to JVM success. It's the mother of all, and abusing it

I have my hopes up for Nokia and Microsoft - win10 devices are more or less a pocket PC. When Linux Support gets properly implemented into Windows, a brilliant new era will dawn. Not to mention c# is a beautiful language.

not to mention they're battle tested. and C is predictable, period. no other language can come close bar ASM. even Rust has a long way to go before it matures to C11 levels - in terms of industry trust, community adoption and backtrack

exactly why we need a change on the level of school curricula - and the lazy part of being human can't be avoided. it's that "maximal result/minimum effort YOLO" that's coded into our genes.
