    I really don’t think the language is the problem here. I wrote some thoughts here https://feddit.dk/comment/6556927

    I’m a professional software developer using Rust so I guess you can either call me “biased” or “qualified to answer”, but take that how you will.

    But I suppose time will tell if some other threadiverse implementation in another language takes over.

      I think the definition of best programming language here is not popular and hyped but “the one I use”. I really believe Java is worse than Rust for contributors. We’ll see how it goes.

        Then again, a java codebase would be much more accessible to someone who has only coded in JS.

          JS only has “Java” in the name, other than that they’re pretty different languages (basically: JS is a clusterfuck, Java is a “get paid by the line” hyper-explicit enterprisey invention with deployment horror stories).

          Despite their names, Java and JavaScript are very different languages and they really don’t have much in common, so this doesn’t make much sense.

          Really? I mainly code in JS and to be honest, Java gives me C# vibes.

            Definitely. I just mentioned JS because i think there are many people who only code for web. Or have js as their first language.
