Problem is that requires carefully testing, and not every company wants to have a half-assed port that doesn’t have a good experience on the desktop.

Don’t any linux DE have something like a shortcuts app?
So many websites out there are built on Django, Flask, etc. (YouTube must have spent a decade using Python, Instagram, Threads etc. all use Python and optimize as they need).
Mojo is surfing on the AI hype, so only time will tell whether it lives to fulfill the expectation.
Doing small contributions to Wikipedia is quite rewarding. Sometimes I add little stuff, as it doesn’t take much time and small improvements are more easily accepted in any page.
I’ve had a surgery last Thursday, so now that I can’t do anything besides sitting and laying for the next two weeks, I’ve started reading and implementing the Crafting Interpreters book. Hopefully it’ll give me a good base for future projects.
dependency injection is an abomination
I don’t think so, dependency injection has made testing easier in all static typed code bases I worked on.
Not having a standard library is what hindered JavaScript, mostly because of its origin as a browser language. The dev environment is already bad with many competing options that don’t always play nice together, now imagine that sort of problem even for the basic libraries.
Python quite often have more than one library to do the same thing, but they’re often extra niceties.
Benchmarks should be like a scientific paper: they should describe all the choices made and why for the configurations. At least that will show if the people doing it really understand what they’re comparing.
I’m not much active in these communities, but I think there are a few which aren’t very popular but are enough for the job… I just remember that after the Unity outrage, people were recommending moving to Godot.
As a non game dev, does Flutter really offer anything compared to traditional 2D game engines? I thought most of them are also open source?
The whole article seems a bit forced with many topics that are present in most other languages too. I don’t think “Faster release cycle” is one reason Java got where it is today.
Android dev will be overwhelming for a beginner. If you’re still learning, I’d suggest starting with some command line stuff just to get the hang of the standard library, concepts etc.
You can use any IDE for simple stuff but Android Studio is tailored for Android framework complexities that added up over time.
The problem is people are lazy and most places I’ve been, peoeple make bad commit messages and often very non informative.
Thanks!
What’s your biggest fear in this regard?
Just as an example, I worked as a contractor with the biggest bank in Latin America before and basically all their server code is Java (with new code in Kotlin nowadays).
Although I already agreed to it from a users’ perspective (the more protectionist, the worse user experience), this article is very thought provoking.
Unless they play the Twitter/X card and only allow seeing Reddit if you’re logged in and limit the amount of requests one account can make…
But I’m sure the fact Android is FOSS had nothing to do with it, it’s just a random coincidence. It would simply be the most popular OS.
