  • Programming languages come with their own niches, tools, culture, and history. Gradle has lots of verbosity, complexity, and so on. It’s a build system and a dependency manager in one. Other languages separate these duties.

    A cultural preference for tools written in specific languages or available for specific platforms exists as well. Lots of C/C++ programmers dislike everything Java. They will cite performance and philosophy. They ask why should they install and manage JVM versions and installs for a task they can do with a make file, a shell script, and Conan/vcpkg.

    Not even all Java folks use gradle. maven and ant ant are still around and I’ve seen someone write Java build tasks using rake.




  • A more fractured internet is coming. Posting sources will be forbidden. Discourse will become more polarized, disconnected, and extreme.

    Most of these Reddit bans on Twitter are also half assed. They still allow screenshots of Twitter posts. That means the content is still spread, and Twitter remains relevant.

    Lots of these subreddits don’t even get a lot of Twitter links in the first place. Like for lotrmemes it makes zero difference.

    That said, Musk and Twitter suck. I have deleted my Twitter account three years ago.
