@tsoding keep in mind that making and deploying a PL was harder back then and required considerably more skills and access to resources than now, It took 3 years to make Fortran when released in 1957.
@tsoding funny you should ask this since i am writing an article on this very topic, but the short answer is because they all suck. Things haven't changed either; by 1965 there were already 1,700 languages, all unique, none of them compatible with each other, in over 700 applications!
@unclebobmartin re: “They all switched over to Ruby.” it was actually Python and JS; Ruby just picked up the crumbs that fell off the table.
@agility_wars @allenholub as an oft 1ˢᵗ hand witness to this, couldn't agree more.
@jasongorman OMG! OOP invariably does produce “code that's hard to understand” — provided industry accepted best practices of OOP are followed. for example, if one codes in C++ like it was C, then, with sufficient skill, it is indeed possible to make code not hard to understand.
@howallworks @fermatslibrary where is the link for your article?
@breckyunits music is so black mirror-ish. perfect fit for this ad. any idea where its from?
@breckyunits this is pretty skookum, but how to add content to it? what i mean is that it makes a web-page with a title on it, but how to add any text blurb to it? any flanking tags needed to enclose the text? any hints to point us in the right direction would be much appreciated. thnx.
@allenholub re: “vastly better alternatives” than teams. i myself loath and detest teams, but what would be the vastly better alternatives? Also, regarding Jira, what would you recommend as a reasonable replacement for it?
@allenholub what are your issues with Jira? genuine question — i am no lover of Jira myself because i consider it to be unacceptably buggy (kinda ironic for a bug tracker). But i would love to know what specifically you yourself find objectionable about it; like your top 3.
@DarthKaizen @RonJeffries @alexbunardzic well expressed . i still have PTSD from using it – the most bug-laden piece of software i have ever used. oh the irony; a bug-festooned POS software to track bugs in other software.
