Microsoft also makes like half of the languages and dev tooling that every piece of software depends on. Microsoft is certainly problematic but I would not consider their support or attitude towards open source projects in general to be.
Probably cause the software engineers writing a high level chat app in TypeScript don’t have the skills or knowledge to fix a bug in a C++ video decoder.
I think they meant JavaScript/TypeScript don’t get a great rap in comparison to others like Java, Rust, C#, etc.
I think everyone who works with JavaScript/TypeScript professionally will come to prefer TypeScript given a bit of time.
Yeah, it will give you the best of both worlds, but at a fundamental level I still hate that I have to pay for an always running server just for SEO, if I can get away with it I’d much prefer a purely static site that has to have its content pages rebuilt when they change.
Server rendered sucks ass. Why would I want to pay for an always running server just to render a webpage when the client’s device is more than capable of doing so?
Centralization is just pushed because it’s easier for companies to make money off servers.
Lmfao, it’s honestly hard to tell whether people on Lemmy are genuine old heads still stuck in the past or just young ones blindly repeating what they’ve heard that sounds edgy.
There hasn’t been an example of Microsoft EEEing something in 20 years. You could literally be in college right now and the past time Microsoft even tried to sabotage an open source project would be before you were born.
To casual tech enthusiasts who want to fit in with die hard open source enthusiasts it’s cool to hate Microsoft, for professional software developers who have seen what say, JavaScript was like before and after Microsoft started working on it, we have a bit of a more nuanced view of them.
