    Everyone is telling them how silly is to make a site from zero just because you dont like the opinions of the devs and how java sucks compared to rust.

    Its going to be funny the seeing the drama when sublinks drops and they realised no one wants to jump ship to it

      Can’t wait to watch the most irritating turboliberals on the fediverse retreat from Lemmy and make their own little platform, before tearing each other apart.

      The funniest thing the devs can do is simply not make a mechanic to port over an instance to another platform so they have to rebuild from scratch.

      Ok I have no real opinion on Rust, but I hate Java. Who willingly chooses it at this point? What does it do that C# (or literally anything else, I assume Rust is ok, I’m just a boomer) doesn’t? Its so bad, one of my professors did a “I made this program in each language” test and had to make a graph without Java because literally every other language looked the same otherwise.

      No this isn’t me being salty 5 years after Java refused to handle a basic object for a college project and brought my grade for a class down a whole letter. Haha

        It’s used everywhere in business so you’re basically guaranteed to find a job if you’re good with it, and vice versa, the hiring pool is big if you’re a corporation. It’s got a robust standard library. In the last few years it’s picked up more and more useful features like lambdas and dynamic typing to cut down on boilerplate. It’ll run on basically anything and you, the developer, don’t need to worry about compiling to specific target platforms. It’s also avoided a lot of the design-by-committee garbage that’s turned C++ into a Venn diagram of feature incompatibility.

        That said, package management in java kind of sucks. There’s still plenty of boilerplate. The language is highly dependent on meta-programming annotations in many cases that hide code from you and obscure details. Exceptions are stupid and expensive.
