I did not know that Pascal is still in use till today. What kind of freelancing projects are in demand? I mean in Delphi/Pascal. If you do not mind my asking.
I have to agree. I saw FSF members argue with uutils coreutils [0] developers about having their project licensed under MIT. And for no good reason, they started attacking the project and the people behind it.
Okay, not yet. I don't think RISC-V rivals you in any market except micro-controllers. However, it's a matter of time before RISC-V dominates every market. Due to its openness and lack of fees.
What is the benefit of having multiple compilers for programming languages? Is there a scenario where a GCC compiled rust program would do something that an LLVM one can't do?
Doesn't this cause fragmentation in the rust ecosystem?
P.S.:I understand that people can work on any project they want. And I don't have the right to tell them not to. I'm just curious about the technical reasons for having multiple compilers.
To be honest, I think the point of the article is to list some of the reason way Linux is not for average users. And they talk about Windows since it's the most used desktop OS.
Hopefully one day Linux would be the goto desktop OS.
I have no doubt that Linux users are awesome at reporting, debugging and finding problems. Also, they tend to be tech-savvy. So reporting bugs are not a big deal for them. Unlike most average users.
My argument was about how hard it's to develop and support software for Linux. Not about the users. You have to admit that Linux (due to its fragmentation) is a nightmare to support. And it has a very small users base to justify putting the effort to support all Linux distros and all desktop environments and hardware configurations and Wayland and Xorg ...etc.
I like Linux, and I wish I could use it all the time. But to be honest, it's more work than what I'm willing to do.
