This only works for so long until the devs get tired of spoonfeeding. More importantly: There shouldn't be subtle nuances in something like a web routing library which is _supposed_ to be trivial. Just the other day I had the experience of watching a grown man give a presentation on his beloved HTTP library, explaining fundamentals of asynchronous (TM) programming and syntax as if the audience does not understand their own programming language in 2021, after seeing the previous 500 LangX.FrameworkY.HTTPlibs. This shouldn't be a thing. We shouldn't be relearning basic shit every day. The problem aside from UNIX being a giant pile of garbage, and HTTP being utterly pointless (can you even name what problem is being solved when you create a new p2p application and make them talk HTTP to each other?), is that everyone keeps making their new languages and libs to "fix" one tiny issue, and they _always_ lack basic knowledge of the past 50 years of PL history, such as Standard ML which is better than whatever they just came up with. |
