Ok, now ... where does TempleOS and HolyC belong on this chart?
It needs a Z axis for hobby vs enterprise.
There we go, there, that actually makes sense to me, thank you!
I want to know what a corpo hobbyist traditionalist language is though, lol.
Like uh... I make vba / excel macros in my spare time for fun, lol?
That's where retrocomputing comes into play I guess, Haha!
Those people running Windows 2000 or XP on old computers or VMs and making old-school dotnet web forms apps for it.
I can imagine myself doing this one day, just for nostalgia. 😄
*Sigh*. Fine, let's introduce a z-axis specifically for Terry A. Davis.
So what you're saying is that... he is either from, belongs to, or should be placed on...
... another plane of existence?
lololololollool

This is pretty much nonsense lol
It makes sense once you accrue 1000 hours on /g/ (10 years ago, it's a much dumber place now)

Cowards are too afraid to place vi anywhere on these axes...
It’s open source and traditional..

Uh, Linus Torvalds is a hypedev?
Btw, is this meme old?
Putting Apple under disruption not tradition lol
Author is either a troll or drank the apple marketing koolaid.
Looking at how much of a reach some of the disruptive + proprietary stuff is... Yeah, there isn't a lot of recent innovative proprietary stuff, is there?
Although I would put Chrome under "disruptive". It absolutely was when it released decades ago, and even now it's still changing the browser landscape.
Chrome was disruptive.
Part of the reason for its disruption is that Chromium is open source (BSD licence), built on Webkit that was open source, which was built on khtml from the KDE project which was open source. That is how we got to Microsoft Edge also running on Chromium.
If it wasn't for the monoculture aspect and the actions of some of the companies using it, khtml->Chromium would be a great open source success story.

I started using git to track my dotfiles maybe one-ish years after I first fully adopted Linux as my daily driver.. I think it's been a little over 5 years and before I converted to nix that git history told a story of immense frustration of never being able to get my desktop and laptop to be identical. For some reason some projects only ran on one of the 2 machines. There was a period in my life when I didn't use my desktop for 2 months because it just didn't work well enough, OCD is really fucking painful. Nix saved my relationship with both of my computers, and my desk, and my spine. I haven't used my laptop and maybe a month and I may have changed my workstation a couple hundred times in this period, I will with absolute confidence say that the next time I decide to use my laptop I can just run git pull and nixos rebuild and my laptop will be just the same as my desktop (minus obligatory build fixes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
NixOS answers that question I always had, "Do I have random residue from programs I uninstalled years ago lying around on my system?", with a resounding "No", and it feels amazing.
What is this shit? I don't recognize half of this garbage. How is terminal + text editor not an option?

C++ is more traditional than C? 🤔
I think they just put them in quadrants with no attention to placement.
TIL I'm a hypedev
I use Arch btw
We should reimplement it in Rust
Where's the drunken conglomeration that is Scala?
Btw. It's my favorite language
People with the skill level necessary to create such memes don't know what Scala is
I use C#, GitHub and arch...
(I am replacing GitHub once my homelab server is set up though)
