3.4% vs 11.7%

Interesting

People are pushing for it because they see the amount of people here as a finite number that shouldn't be spread too thin.

I'm more on the side advocating to get more people here so that we don't worry about how many communities we have on the same topic

with the developer of pangora

It's like the Avengers are gathering

2024, Java is still the 2nd language on GitHub with 11,7% of the total code hosted, while Rust is number 13 with 1,8%

That’s an old story, and if I remember correctly the title was misleading, it was more of a decision of the instance admins to not renew it rather than the Taliban having anything to do with it

more power efficient than 7 and 6.

Yes, those seems to really have the bigger issues on that regard

And even more, the Lemmy codebase doesn't really have any important developers besides the two main devs: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/graphs/contributors.

Even looking at the contributions to something like Mbin, which has been around for much shorter, you already see 6 people with more than 50 commits, while Lemmy has one

Hm, Java is hated by devs, but still 2nd language on GitHub with 11,7% of the total code hosted, while Rust is number 13 with 1,8%?

I think it’s higher priority than you do and would contribute to helping the fediverse grow but I don’t think we’re gonna convince each other so I’m gonna bow out here.

I guess not, but that was a cordial exchange. Have a good one.

Euros. The issue with shipping something from the US is that there are chances of the device being provider-locked, and also the tax customs here would add some nasty tax on top of it.

I have higher hopes. Java is three times more developers than Rust (https://www.statista.com/statistics/793628/worldwide-developer-survey-most-used-languages/), and you can see in this thread a number of people saying they could contribute as they know Java and not Rust.

Let's hope for the best.

It kind of makes sense to be honest. The pricing of the small phones is very prohibitive.

Seems like here the number of developers comfortable in Java is a dependency

Yes. I keep this post alive as it was interesting to think what would happen if they really killed it. Would a lot of disgruntled old.reddit users come here? That could be interesting

I'm not, I barely crossoposted this from nutomic's post on !lemmy@lemmy.ml !

It's back on my side

Interesting

They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel
