Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy's Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps of choice.

Java is a corporate language that most devs hate. Rust (Lemmy) is more popular as a hobby language that devs enjoy hacking in for fun.

[-] Blaze@discuss.online 8 points 7 months ago

Hm, Java is hated by devs, but still 2nd language on GitHub with 11,7% of the total code hosted, while Rust is number 13 with 1,8%?

How much of that 11.7% is 35-character class names?

I'm only half joking.

[-] magic_lobster_party@kbin.social 7 points 7 months ago

It’s by amount of pull requests, so the length of class names and other Java boilerplate doesn’t count.

And even more, the Lemmy codebase doesn't really have any important developers besides the two main devs: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/graphs/contributors.

Even looking at the contributions to something like Mbin, which has been around for much shorter, you already see 6 people with more than 50 commits, while Lemmy has one

We have 13 contributors with Sublinks so far. I expect more will come after the announcement.

"I'm right, and if anyone disagrees, it's because they're brainwashed"

There's literally no possible way to argue against this type of logic.

The weight of my intellect is a heavy burden to bear.

Java is a corporate language that most devs hate

Citation required, because strangely enough people whom I hear about complaining about Java never seem to be the good developers but the ones I wouldn't hire

[-] kaffiene@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

That's bullshit, frankly

[-] spiderman@ani.social 2 points 7 months ago

As a java dev, I can say that we hate working with java and love working with java at the same time.

[-] Fudoshin@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago

Ah, an anime consumer. Explain to me why FMA:B is the greatest anime ever made?

[-] spiderman@ani.social 0 points 7 months ago

fmab is another regular anime that's overshilled.

Jesus H Christ.
