That's... not exactly better, tbh



Not getting this obsession with the tech stack ITT?

You can run a profitable business even when using Java, Typescript and React. Infact choice of language probably makes less difference than us geeks would hooe. Outside of really bad language choices.


Yeah, frankly I agree. There are reasons to criticize Palantir, but including Java in their stack isn't one of them.


It's easy to hear a business is doing badly and then assume it must be their tech stack that is the central problem even though that is pretty unlikely.
