amongst developers that percentage is much less small, and this is a developer tool.

yeah, the operating systems that underpin >90% of compute on the compute on the planet are silly and barely worth supporting.
this kind of “hey claude, write prose exactly as lame as usual but also make it snarky and rude in tone” writing is just fantastically bad.
I would never look them in the eyes again if I found out someone did this to me.
Go is a perfectly reasonable choice though, and easier to learn on average.
the thing is, we could just have both! this isn’t some winner/loser scenario. the real question should be why these computers with enough bandwidth for 11+ connectors don’t at least split the difference with 6/5 of each. gives device manufacturers enough confidence that customers will be able to plug in the thing they bought, and gives consumers the ability to plug in anything and everything they need. then in 5 years when things have advanced we can start talking about entirely consolidating on USB C.
that's a lot to assume from a couple words on a website, but if you're this fun at parties we must really be missing out.
also btw, hi, it's me, the coward who wrote the prose for the website. tho it wasn't _just_ me that thought it was a good idea. it's done a terrific job of keeping "un-politic" buzz kills away.
I think it’s safe to assume that when a community claims to contain “no nazi bullshit”, they mean that it contains no nazis or their associated bullshit. if you’re worried that that includes you or people you sympathize with, ask yourself “_why_?”, because it makes a lot of sense to everyone in the quite active gleam community.
go click on any package with substantial downloads. svelte is the same way, the downtick is just less visible because of a weirdly massive spike in their downloads.
You're obviously not obligated, but I'd encourage you to try building it if you're interested!
Carbon has yet to deliver on anything yet, even as Sean Baxter has been making lots of progress on the Circle compiler (including implementing lots of the good bits from Carbon).
Hard to be a successor when you can't really be considered a language yet.
Not very many posts. I only started trying to take writing for it seriously the last few months, with a target of one post per month. But I think "All you need is data and functions" is a pretty good read! Briefly made the front page of HN shortly after it was published.
Remote: Yes/hybrid
Relocate?: Yes
Technologies:
- Web stuff: TypeScript, WebGL, React, Next.js, Postgres, GraphQL, Docker, Vite, Vitest/Jest/Puppeteer/Playwright/etc. AWS, GCP, Terraform
- Other assorted things: Rust, Erlang, Gleam, Go, Github Actions, Figma.
Particularly interested in CI/CD, build systems, developer tooling, developer experience. If you want a random small internal CLI, I can probably hack it out in a day. If you work with Erlang/Elixir and have been curious about Gleam, lets talk about it!

Hoping to find somewhere to settle down for a while; not having health insurance is a bit of a drag. I tend to be a bit of an early bird, so try not to let my timezone be a deal breaker. I'm usually awake before most of the east coast US.
