still wondering why using so obscure language

dansup, 2 months ago

@fredbrooker @Mastodon Good one!

Jokes aside, for those who aren't aware, Twitter was written in Ruby and is among several huge players who also use Ruby like GitHub and Shopify.

The real obscure language can be found in some toots 🤪

nobody is using Shopify here, Github is a specific dev stack, 50 % of the web runs PHP and jQuery

Fred, it isn't all that obscure. There are many well-known web services built on this stack. GitHub is one example.

@grishka @dansup I'd go for Golang, Rust or PHP

grishka, 2 months ago

Fred, Go and Rust are relatively new. Oh and the server I'm writing this from is in Java btw.

you can run anything on top of shit, no problem

@fredbrooker @grishka we know, your bio mentions PHP 😉

@dansup @grishka

Go, Ruby, and Rust differ in their syntax, concurrency support, runtime performance, memory safety, community, and learning curve. Go focuses on simplicity and concurrency, Ruby on expressive syntax and flexibility, and Rust on memory safety and performance.

then you go for Java 😂

Fred, I personally chose Java because this is the language I know best. It isn't without its flaws, but I'm okay with them. In all these years, I learned to live with them. Using an unfamiliar language for a project this ambitious would be asking for trouble. Same goes for most other open-source projects, imo.

@grishka @fredbrooker lmao he blocked me, why are php devs so insufferable??

like we get it dude, you use php, stop trying to make other ppl feel bad because they don't know jquery lmao

@fredbrooker @dansup @Mastodon port it to php if you don’t like Ruby
