I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. I'm saying that my original comment had nothing to do with enterprise. It may well be that operating systems without package management are unsuitable for enterprise. I pers

There are uses of software outside enterprise.

Per-language package management seems to be the way to go lately. I think this is mostly because some operating systems don't have a package manager, or have one that is difficult to create and distribute packages for.

I've started ignoring .io domains, because they seem to be a convenient shorthand for "I care more about being trendy than being correct." I doubt this project is based in the British Indian Ocean Territory.

Servo is a browser engine like Gecko or Blink. However, while those two engines are really made for use in a specific browser (Firefox and Chrome respectively), Servo is easily used in arbitrary programs (like WebKit).

Really, the typo thing was not the main point of my original comment, it was just an aside. I'm sorry to anyone I have offended. I mainly take issue with the proliferation of Go frameworks, especially HTTP frameworks. Frameworks are an

I didn't mean to hate, shame, or mock anyone. I would rather that programmers who create complex antipatterns stay in other languages that encourage them, and if light critique has that side effect, so be it.

English is a language with grammar that has a Stack Exchange site and can be Googled. The typos on the page are common for native English speakers who don't take the time or effort to check their writing for correctness. The author did

If you're looking for privacy, I would stay away from proprietary browsers (and operating systems, especially those with mandatory telemetry that are produced by an NSA PRISM corporation.)

Not only is this page riddled with typos that lead me to doubt the quality of the code, the concept of a framework is fundamentally complex and at odds with the goals of Go.

They cite the purported note from the attacker, despite the fact that it was immediately called out as a phony with an incorrect signature.

Saying "a Congolese female" in this context seems inappropriate. "Woman" would be a more humanizing term. (Also, the rest of the article seems to suggest Ota Benga was a man, not a woman. My point still stands.)

I remember using a StartSSL certificate. It wasn't linked to an account or anything sane, but instead installed a certificate in the browser which it used in place of login details. I happened to do this on my phone, which did not offe

Why not use IPFS, which is specifically designed for this sort of usage and will be more resilient?

All C functions are considered unsafe, because they don't have the Rust safety guarantees. Every function in the normal libc crate is marked unsafe.

> Why waste resources on an inferior web version when they can focus their attention on the very successful mobile app. Perhaps because the web version is not limited to the proprietary runtime of a single operating system.
