@fredbrooker @Mastodon Good one! Jokes aside, for those who aren't aware, Twitter was written in Ruby and is among several huge players who also use Ruby like GitHub and Shopify. The real obscure language can be found in some toots 🤪  nobody is using Shopify here, Github is a specific dev stack, 50 % of the web runs PHP and jQuery  Fred, it isn't all that obscure. There are many well-known web services built on this stack. GitHub is one example. Fred, Go and Rust are relatively new. Oh and the server I'm writing this from is in Java btw. Go was designed at Google in 2007 to improve programming productivity in an era of multicore, networked machines and large codebases. The designers wanted to address criticisms of other languages in use at Google, but keep their useful characteristics: Static typing and run-time efficiency (like C). I consider 17 years a lot 😂 Go, Ruby, and Rust differ in their syntax, concurrency support, runtime performance, memory safety, community, and learning curve. Go focuses on simplicity and concurrency, Ruby on expressive syntax and flexibility, and Rust on memory safety and performance. then you go for Java 😂 Fred, I personally chose Java because this is the language I know best. It isn't without its flaws, but I'm okay with them. In all these years, I learned to live with them. Using an unfamiliar language for a project this ambitious would be asking for trouble. Same goes for most other open-source projects, imo. @grishka @fredbrooker lmao he blocked me, why are php devs so insufferable?? like we get it dude, you use php, stop trying to make other ppl feel bad because they don't know jquery lmao |
@dansup @Mastodon
still wondering why using so obscure language
