You sound like someone who hasnt worked very long in the industry. Being realistic anout failure allows one to build better products. Simplicity and maintainability and most important replacability. Allows a software to fail and not the bus

So the garbage collected language is written in a garbage collected language? How does that effect the system?

Well u sure made an effort to exclaim how hard it would be. If a developer had an install guide with links to dependencies or mirrors to those dependencies it wouldnt be very hard as they should have internally for their dev/ testing.

This is only because of the nature of dynamic linking. Have a statically linked executable and you should be fine. Not that it should be an issue to get old software to run you simply need to download the dependent lib versions. Anyone who

All well and good when u have an active dev team who knows the code. Have fun walking into a code base that has just been running for the last 5 years and all the consultants that created it have left.

Has python really though? still my company has a bunch of 2.7 lying around that not one is touching. I would like to flip your question on its head and ask why does any language need a breaking change ever? Might as well create a new langu

Id like to specify that i never stated that people “off themselves” purely from suicide. Drugs, alocohol, suicide, social isolation are all fair gain when combating the strugles of humanity

Nothing against the project or talk itself. But kinda funny when a talk starts with “i bet many of you thought X was a solved problem, well im here to tell u it isnt.” Git was populare not because its somehow revolutionary, its popular bec

As far as i know Opera and Firefox are doing fine. Kind of ironic in a thread about antitrust people still peddle this idea of needing full market dominance to be considered successful.

Whats the benefit of this inplace of using bcrypt or py-pgp? I really don understand this trend of piling on abstraction for simple problems. Its basically a hole github project that could be solved in 2 wrapper functions.
