The PDF standard is so complex that it makes it implicitly not really open, as it’s basically impossible to implement it fully

How do you expect mail privacy while using gmail?

It keeps on coming back and ladybird supporters keep on trying to tone it down because they don’t want the project to die. But yeah, the guy seems like a big piece of shit.

Here’s one, you can find more stuff by searching the name of the dev

“We want rust for safety. That’s why we made the code in the most unreliable way to code known to humanity”.

Not surprising from the devs that think that not being a fascist is political I guess

Edit : ah apparently the guy is not trying to be an enlightened centrist anymore and is a full-on nazi. Heh, who could have guessed? /s

There will be people defending ladybird no matter what huh

It will either fail, or be bought then cancelled by a big company like Google

How is using a spoon different as to using a military tank? They’re both tools after all.

Look at how to do it with python, you’ll learn interesting stuff, get a working result, and not destroy your brain using a chat simulator as a programming help.

I don’t get why people are fine with comments that are as absurd as saying “to hang a painting, first stab a screwdriver in the wall then attach the painting to it, sometimes it’s not too bad”

It wouldn’t be good at it, it would at most be a little patch for non audited code.

In the end it would just be an AI-powered antivirus.

I wish there were proper bindings for python, but dearpygui is ugly as fuck to use.

Are you russian by any chance?

Because it’s rare to see the words “anti-russia lies” anywhere else.

Github is a private company and as such unfit to protect open source.

What is needed is an autonomous, government funded organisation that will allow the world to get rid of companies making money off the FOSS ecosystem.

There are hellish things such as guix for that.

Or ideally the software needs to be upgraded.

Defending javascript syntax is not really a valid thing. Even js devs admit it.

Python is an overall robust language that allows you to do basically whatever you want, and does it pretty well. You can even use C extensions if you want to get peak performance.

The two domains that I believe Python cannot easily work with, are IoT where the interpreter would be a bit too cumbersome for a low-power system, and web programming, where it would still underperform Javascript and Webassembly (even though I am guessing that with a better webassembly support of the browsers, it would be possible to reach a rather efficient interpreter in-browser that would at least reach performances similar to javascript, if not better. And even if slower, the better syntax and lack of absurd rules would be a clear advantage on JavaScript).

Someone tried to learn python and failed.
