> You are comparing Go to Python, JS, and C++, arguably the three most complex languages to build. No, I'm comparing to more than a dozen different languages that I've used commerc…

As someone who's written commercial software in well over a dozen different languages for nearly 40 years, I completely disagree. Go has its warts for sure. But saying the simplici…

Not just using it daily, but I have scripts I've written literally a decade ago, and which haven't been modified at all, which still work just as well as the day I wrote them. Wher…

I didn’t read the GPs comment as a justification.

That’s only a modern day theory and feels somewhat retrofitted interpretation of the facts (from what I’ve seen when researching this myself). There are various spellings of the su…

I wasn’t judging anyone. I was just saying Rust isn’t exactly flying under the radar.

Where I live we also call it “trump”. Which is why many of us never understood why people would claim that Donald Trump has a “powerful name”. However it did amuse use that a man f…

I was with you right up until “quietly doing it without much fanfare”. Personal opinions of Rust aside, it has gained so much fanfare that “rewrite it Rust” is now practically a me…

Exactly my point. People in here are conflating popularity with it being better

I agree however the question asked was specifically about preference.

Same here. I find I need to listen to most of his albums a couple of times before I fall for them whereas Syro clicked first time.

Daft Punks first two albums weren't like that. They were a little darker and had a rawer production value with very simplistic (read: not very diverse) sounds running through them.…

You cannot explain it though. I could say I'm drawn to Aphex Twin because it all sounds really diverse but someone else would say they disagree and prefer rock music because Aphex …

Why do some people prefer Daft Punk to Led Zepplin? Or Tchaikovsky, Frank Sinatra, Taylor Swift, Bolt Thrower, Sex Pistols, Tupac or any other artist? People like what they like an…

Oh I never meant any of my comments to undermine Docker. While I do have some specific frustrations with Docker, the same is true with any technology stack: Jails and Zones include…

> If anything this is testament to the failure of previous solutions to popularize it. Maybe. But I'd rather not argue about popularity in a conversation about technical merit. The…

I was with you right up until this part: > The fact that it's 2022 and there's still people that are going "hur-dur Solaris zones, BSD jails amiright" as if any of those technologi…

Running Docker on non-Linux platforms requires a Linux VM to run in the background. It's not as cross platform as people make out. The other container technologies can be managed v…

Making containers was easy long before Docker came along: - FreeBSD Jails - Solaris Zones - Proxmox (which was an abstraction over OpenVZ, back before LXC came along) In fact becau…

I can’t speak for the country you work in but here in the U.K. not every company has salary ranges and even those that do, a great many will try to negotiate salaries down rather t…
