yeah, before, but mozilla definitely was throwing a lot into popularizing it
where is our Servo browser then? written in Rust? hah
nope, but it's added even more tooling you need to actually build mozilla browser from source
for me everything that has objects is already trash, that is a model that has been proven to only complicate compilation and cost a lot in development idle time
the fact i spent two months trying to learn it and could barely implement a microservice tells me that it's a waste of time piece of shit garbage that is overhyped and loved by shitcoiners
just the shitcoiner love alone turns me off it
and this is from someone who constantly bitches about btcd and lnd repos, which are a demonic hellscape
if i ran a software dev company and had loads of money to hire devs i'd be forking and fixing those dumpster fires, i've worked on the codebase for almost 3 years solid (btcd, a fork of it) and i fixed some things but it's just so bad
also i didn't even mention plan9, which heavily guides into Go's design, the first network native operating system that sadly got lost in the netscape/mosaic war
