@bob_zim@infosec.exchange Judging by the lack of response, you know that is BS, and for insult to injury, Open ZFS works just as well on Windows. It is nice to have a universal file system that isn't FAT32.

@Codebender_Cate@infosec.exchange It's getting just as bad as Twitter.

@remove_huilo@mas.to @winterschon@mastodon.bsd.cafe How is it bad? No one forced you to execute the JavaScript, or go to any website. Whether it functions as an application or providing assistance to a page, JavaScript still powers it and more often than not renders it, and it does in fact disappear for little bits of time.

@jhx@mastodon.bsd.cafe @winterschon@mastodon.bsd.cafe How are they "the plague" ?

@winterschon@mastodon.bsd.cafe Agree to disagree.

1. Perl is actually slower than every implementation of JavaScript
2. From node.js came https://libuv.org the fastest async I/O implementation to exist and is used by a number software projects already, https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/LINKS.md
3. Perl 6 was such a disaster that it's now called Raku
4. Having functions with arguments defined at the top like literally every other higher and lower language, would be nice
5. Big Perl codebases are difficult to read
6. Event-based and procedural-based programming are different styles of programming, both have their strengths and weaknesses
7. React is a game changer where context shifting is eliminated during development, backend / frontend consistency goes away, and full-stack developers replace dedicated backend and frontend developers
8. Perl is glorified awk
9. https://outspeaking.com/words-of-technology/why-perl-didnt-win.html
10. I have more clients that can execute JavaScript code than I do CGI/Perl

@dimpase@mathstodon.xyz @ThePSF@fosstodon.org @pypi@fosstodon.org The way you stare a gift horse in the mouth is very impressive.

@dimpase@mathstodon.xyz @ThePSF@fosstodon.org @pypi@fosstodon.org It's a gift because it's voluntary. The "tax regime" would be solved by charging for the software. No one can force a person or corporation to spend their money, unless a party has legally agreed to do so.

@dimpase@mathstodon.xyz @ThePSF@fosstodon.org @pypi@fosstodon.org No one can force a donation to a non-profit organization.
