Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy’s Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps of choice.
This is the kind of bizarre rhetoric I’ve come to expect from a Java dev so badly addled with Java-brain-rot that they don’t even know how to write their own name anymore.
Keep telling yourself that but I’m not the only one here saying Lemmy and Rust has a lot more chance at success. Parts of Mozilla are written in Rust with a view to replacing all of the codebase in it. Parts of Linux and Linux drivers are being built in Rust. Small programs like Exa (
lsreplacement) in Linux are written in Rust. Google replaced Java with Go.Rust, Go and others are taking over. People have seen the light. Those of us with enough cognitive function left in tact are making moves to languages that matter and away from Java.
You’re right Java will always be around just like COBOL. In about two mainframes managed by two COBOL devs in the entire world.
It’s sad to see you like this. Arguing for your own abuse and misery at the hands of a language that doesn’t care about you.
