the big lie about computer programming is that anyone does anything on merit
you aren't using rust because its memory safe and you aren't using go because its productive.
you're using leftist corposhit because mozilla did it or minimalist corposhit because google did it.

@icedquinn Hey some of us were using plan9/inferno and started using go because of the relationship with that.
@swiley i actually like go but if rob pike didn't work for google nobody would be using it rn
@icedquinn Yeah, it would just be "the thing that came after limbo" like that L language is to TCL.
@swiley most complaints against nim are literally "it's not C" followed by "it's not already popular"
