whoa whoa whoa

how can we have a flamewar if youre going to be all reasonable like that

oh i never considered that reading of the quote

i read it as more: complaints about a language, particularly the amount of complaints, don’t mean it is a Bad Language that should be dropped in favor of something else

in fact the complaints validate that the language is being used by people, and that–the number of people actually using the language to Do Things–is imo a decent proxy metric for the usefulness of the language

so please complain about your languages’ shortcomings! i hate so many things about terraform / sh / python / golang / java and will gladly rant at length, and then go right back to using them

except groovy

fuck groovy

have you ever tried to recreate a simple shell pipeline in Python

There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.

the admins moderation and federation stances are solid imo

and they know what theyre doing on the technical front too so i dont expect downtime to be a concern
