lemmy world admins are so mad that the lemmy creators are ebil tankyies's' that they are making their own lemmy in java because they are too lazy to learn rust. the cringe CW was for the "we still punk" comment at the end
I'm gonna be a dick real quick and say Rust is not that hard. If you can comprehend legacy java, you should be able to learn rust in a couple weeks to be productive, and in a weekend to make a hotfix. Lazy is the perfect word for it, they're so mad at le ebil tankies they're going to outright refuse to learn a new language just to be spiteful.
No you don't understand, because they don't know rust there's no way they could do better in rust than they can in Java. Which ignores every part of how shit Java is. I love watching any Java app I support take 5m to start no matter the configuration or resources allocated
They're so afraid of lifetimes and borrow checkers that they'll completely reinvent the wheel to ensure they have almost no adoption in the long term.
