Rust for now, by a wide margin. But I'm following other languages that I think have the potential to surpass it, including Vale (promises way more than it delivers currently), Koka, Hylo, maybe Lobster.

Oo neat that they have an Android app. Unfortunately it seems like it must target a quite old API version - Android gives you an unnecessarily scary warning when you install it, and also it crashes when I try to browse anywhere.

Still, great progress!

Also, off topic but does anyone know why the comment vote counts disappeared?

Edit: Never mind they just moved the vote counts away from the vote buttons... They're now at the top. Weird decision to make it less intuitive... but ok.

Almost everyone uses Cargo. I think the only people that don't are Google and Facebook who will probably be using Bazel or Buck2. I think you're a bit confused about what Cargo is.

I think you're in your own echo chamber. It's not an attempt to poison the word, that's just how its meaning has gradually evolved.

If you ask the general public - not far left people on Twitter - I think they would be more likely to agree with the definition I linked rather than the original definition (you have "woke"n up to social injustice, which is obviously a good thing).

(I'll except the "perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm" bit - I think that is veering into the far right rather than what the man on the Clapham omnibus actually thinks.)

Interesting. I think zjitter would be the closest I would intuitively pronounce that way.

I don't really know anything about the quality of X but I think resorting to name calling is insanely. (Some with Micro$oft etc. - haven't seen that one for a while!)

Being woke simply means that some people don’t often get the same affordances as others.

See I think that's not what the "anti-woke" people think it means. Turning to urban dictionary, they're using this definition:

Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.

Irrespective of whether or not anyone actually is woke, I hope you agree that it wouldn't be a good thing (according to that definition).

Ah I see. I would pronounce it "Zitter" but fair enough. I guess if you're Chinese?

I've tried this. Unfortunately it isn't anywhere near as good as Git Graph, or at least it wasn't when I tried it a few months ago. I'll stick with Git Graph until it stops working I think.
