The Threadiverse is growing again, this time offering an effort to build a new Lemmy replacement from scratch, with API compatibility.

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.

    is something 20 indents or 21 idents deep, I never know

    You don’t know because you’re a mongoloid who’s never heard of an IDE or a well configured text editor. Stop blaming your own inadequacies on tools and accept the fact you’re a shit dev.

    Like I said - Python and Java are different categories so I agree they aren’t competing. But you do know Dropbox, Netflix and Reddit are built in Python don’t you?

    However, Rust and Java are competing and that scares you. Because Rust has all the benefits of Java with none of the downsides. The only benefit Java has (like COBOL) is inertia. Even Google want rid of Java and it’s why they created Kotlin.

    Java has reached it’s zenith and s in decline. It’s only a matter of time before tech debt and new concepts kill the language off and it goes the way of COBOL and Fortran.

    Just accept it with grace and stop fighting the inevitable.
