Yeah, saying “most GitHub users can’t live without a commercial entity” is such a nonsense. GitHub is successful while it works well. The moment it doesn’t, there will be other services.

The problem with Sublime is that it’s a paid one, and not everybody wants to pay for something that is perceived by the community as something that should be free and open source.

Yeah, I guess the idea of VSCode isn’t to be a “ready to use” IDE, but to be configurable — which it is.

The main thing that makes it popular nowadays is the ecosystem of plugins around it. Ex: when Copilot was released, I believe the VSCode plugin was the best one.

Also many frameworks docs have instructions on how to use it with VSCode and which plugins to install, such as some web frameworks and Flutter.

Problem is that requires carefully testing, and not every company wants to have a half-assed port that doesn’t have a good experience on the desktop.

I mean, the way I see it he also has an economic incentive to endorse more AI everywhere.

On the other hand he seems to be one of the people actually pushing for saner legislation.

As much as I do like programming in Java, you have a good point.

Or anything that downloads code from an untrusted source…

Don’t any linux DE have something like a shortcuts app?

So many websites out there are built on Django, Flask, etc. (YouTube must have spent a decade using Python, Instagram, Threads etc. all use Python and optimize as they need).

Mojo is surfing on the AI hype, so only time will tell whether it lives to fulfill the expectation.

What I’ve noticed that happened in Brazil is that most major news channels have 2 websites: a subscription one with quality articles and a free one with very summarized AI lazily written news with no details or context.

There’s really not much to it, quality content needs money and ads don’t pay off for all of it (besides the fact nowadays people just blocks them).

The whole article seems a bit forced with many topics that are present in most other languages too. I don’t think “Faster release cycle” is one reason Java got where it is today.
