@mirandah @richlitt @sustainoss I am active in the Linux Desktop space, and I say that because it is a bit different from average open source. In your talk you mentioned that around 40% of contributors get paid for it. In the desktop space this number is probably massively lower. Its a crazy paradox, even though our software is so immensely popular, and very complex so that you need hundreds of packages and people to build such a product, there is almost no economical incentive in it these days.

@katzenmann you can also use mutter from other languages, elementary OS does that. But yeah I guess if you want system programming languages, you listed all already.

@vixalientoots @monster that sounds super nice! If I had time and an idea for an app right now I would use this probably (though not an easy choice, the go bindings look fancy too)
