#172Please, stop using "written in Rust" as some kind of advantage or killer feature.
Yeah, rust programmers are the new software vegans. They claim it is better just because of the language, ignoring the features gap, the size of the team developing and supporting the software and not having solved any issue with the software they compete against. And to be clear, this in not in favour of GH, it is against the mentality that the programming language makes better products and programmers.
> They claim it is better just because of the language
I mean, it clearly is better (in certain contexts), see e.g. https://blog.google/security/rust-in-android-move-fast-fix-t...
> We adopted Rust for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density compared to Android’s C and C++ code. But the biggest surprise was Rust's impact on software delivery. With Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one.

#173Too bad it's written in Rust so I won't use it.

#174Congrats on shipping this. Self-hosted + open source is exactly the
combination I keep reaching for these days. Out of curiosity, how heavy
is it to run — could it run comfortably on an M1 Mac (16GB RAM)?

#175It’s weird that “written in Rust” is some sort of headline feature.
It’s like “baby on board” stickers on cars - why are you telling me that?
Then again Rust is so complex maybe it’s worth self congratulations.

#177What’s that line about vegetarians? Like how do you know if someone’s a vegetarian? They’ll tell you. This, but Rust.

It would be nice if they mentioned anyhting at all they are doing to implement security features. instead of leaning onf Rust which does absolutely nothing in that regard. just look owasp top 10 and observe it has nothing to do with memory safety. and thats just a top 10 of things.
only for very few companies, memory safety issues are a thing. most of those dont use rust because it lacks tooling and certification paths -_-.
rust is like AI and cloud. heavily marketed, not bad, but not as good as whats on the box -_-. it makes life usually harder for a lot of aspects (ofc cleverly avoid in publications about it -_-)

#179the domain is hard to speak... "git dot io" refers to git.io so you'll have to call it "git dot dot io"

#180Does it have a CLI like github? Does it follow GIT? I made an account and did not migrate my repos, as I'd like to test this before moving in... Thanks in advance!
