Why not Fortran 90 or Fortran 2023?

Oh man! I hate CF! The scummy gatekeepers.

This is clearly intended as an alternative to submodules.

An alternative, not a replacement. Vdm is specifically designed to track code dependencies. There are use cases like monorepos where vdm won't work.

Neither does Git though. I’m not really sure I follow your point.

Git does track submodule history unlike vdm.

By default, vdm sync also removes the local .git directories for each git remote, so as to not upset your local Git tree.

Git submodules don't delete those .git directories. It uses them.

If you want to change the version/revision of a remote, just update your spec file and run vdm sync again.

This is not how git submodules or subtrees work.

vdm does depends on git being installed if you specify any git remote types

Support more than just git and file types, and make file better

Git submodules and subtrees don't support anything other than git remotes.

I use Gentoo with OpenRC. So my position in this matter should be clear. Anyway, check the last paragraph again to see what I think about systemd's modularity.

"The inside of the network stay anonymous" sounds like they are talking about internet access to the internal network.

Typst is a typesetting format - an alternative to LaTeX. Asciidoc is more of a competitor to markdown.

This is the best answer so far!

The realization that Windows was stealthily making dozens of internet connections. I don't know what they were for and there was no reasonable way to disable it.

I'm an evangelist so far as to recommend people to switch to Linux or BSD. But people always find some reason to stay on Windows - "I will switch when Linux starts doing ". (Not gaming). It often feels like they're searching for a problem to justify not switching. I don't bother fighting with such people.

I'm obsessed with modifying Linux to my liking. Programming was another one of my reasons for switching. These days, I program components of my desktop to suit my needs.

Git has a problematic UI. But the good news is that everyone acknowledges it and there has been genuine and sustained efforts to improve it. Git today is much more pleasant than it was before 2010.

I don't know how useful Options are in Python, with its duck typing. Python had something similar to Option::None all along - None. It's possible to use None in Python is very idiomatic and surprising ways. Rust's Some and None are tagged unions. And Rust forces you to address them - unlike Python.

a misleading statement at best

The monstrous thing is locked down tightly on a hardware level that even they can't repair it. And the hoops you have to jump through to install a software is getting ridiculous by the day - I'm saying this from my unfortunate opportunity to use a Mac. And you say that my statement is misleading? It's true what they say - you Mac fanbois have deluded yourself out of touch with reality.
