The world has really moved along since 2000, even since 95/98 (all clear Microsoft milestone years, in case one misses the connection). That genie ain't going back in any bottle. Well, is there really more than one, or is it just one, multiheaded Hydra?
I feel at home on Plan 9 and continue to curse, mostly the resource greed of Linux, but also the continual "enhancements" it insists on foisting on me. Android is worse by a few orders of magnitude, it's even taken to remind me to restart my mobile instrument because it's been accumulating spiderwebs for more than a week! But then there is Go which is pretty much as bad, and yet I do not feel the same dislike, something about efforts towards discipline seem to avoid ruffling my feathers. The analogy with the South African socio-political situation is irresistible: the notable difference is that there isn't a power play in action with real people's lives being threatened. But the same dismissive attitude on one side that the other side uses to create an unjustified boundary is pretty much identical. But I would need to explain much I wish no one else will ever need to learn about, to avoid being insulting rather than encouraging. I would like the two main communities (despite Stallion's hints that we ought to look outside of these) to define their differences and bring to a table only those that one can build on. And that means a lot of rejections that neither side is going to appreciate having to swallow. But they are realities, essential if we are to move on. The significant thing, though, that we seem to overlook, is that 9fans is still active. For all the friction, we are still talking. Lucio.
