Relatively minor for source code forges.
The reasons everyone uses GitHub:
If anyone can ever compete with that then I doubt network effects will keep people there.
Yeah you can use it for normal software. It is very complex though, and the documentation assumes you already have a PhD in formal verification.
If you find yourself needing this, the correct thing to do is to stop writing that shell scripts and switch to a proper language.
I mean, nobody uses Python for execution speed precisely because it is so slow.
He did call it a "shiny language of the day". That's criticism. He's saying the popularity of Rust is due to temporary hype rather than because it is intrinsically good.
It's not because people are sensitive, it's because Rust gets a lot of dumb criticism and people are tired of it.
I tried FreeCAD years ago and it sucked balls. The best FOSS CAD software that I currently know of is SolveSpace.
However it has been a few years. Maybe they discovered UX... I will give it another try and report back!
I dunno if you're being deliberately obtuse, but just in case you really did miss his point: the fact that type hints are optional (and not especially popular) means many libraries don't have them. It's much more painful to use a library without type hints because you lose all of their many benefits.
This obviously isn't a problem in languages that require static types (Go, Rust, Java, etc..) and it isn't a problem with Typescript because static types are far more popular in JavaScript/Typescript land so it's fairly rare to run into a library that doesn't have them.
And yeah you can just not use the library at all but that's just ignoring the problem.
Git LFS does actually support file locking. But in general I find LFS to be hackily pasted onto Git and not very good (as with submodules).
I have yet to see one of these that gives any benefit over ncdu, which is amazing. I guess if you need to log the output this makes sense but that's pretty niche.
Wow, I would love to understand what leads to such insane views. Like, did Rust kill your father or something?
I'm actually serious, why do you have such love for a bad (by modern standards) language like C and such hatred for a great language like Rust?
You have misunderstood. The is ranting against Clean Code, not clean code.
