    Migrated to it around 3 years ago. All I needed was a dependable and simpler (preferably EU-based) GitHub alternative for my FOSS code. Now I am migrating away and stopped my donat…

    Probably because: - better data race handling; - no garbage collection, more predictable performance; - stricter type system that can enforce constraints better; - closer to metal …
