Sometimes it’s necessary when using tailwind (I often use traditional CSS for animations). What’s the hip way to have CSS specific to a component? I remember StyledComponents from years ago. I wasn’t as much into front end then.
Anything new or different is an uphill battle, but I have a hard time believing that anyone who has spent even the slightest amount of time with pip and conda, getting their python execution house of cards built.. just.. so.. is going to struggle with .net libraries and packages.
Edit: or do you mean the comparative lack of libraries?
Yes the comparative lack of libraries and also the roughness of existing ones. I've only toyed a bit with F#, but getting libraries to work that were designed for C# were a bit of a struggle unlike Python, were the resistance to get something to work the first time is low. The inconsistencies would turn up but usually much latter
I want to like and use Forth for something, but this from the post sums it up pretty well.
"I told my partner that the final device could not be
programmed in Forth. Why would I say such a thing? Simply because
technology had passed Forth by, in my opinion. It was no longer
possible for one person to develop all the software required in a
graphical environment. I needed to buy the tools I needed to leverage
my time for a professional job. I could no longer play the role of the
maverick programmer, nor did I want to. I need to be part of a
collaborative community in which I can give and receive work. I do not
see Forth as a viable solution as of today."
That was 1995. His "story" also ended in 1995 with him being unemployed. The author is Allen Cekorich, which made it easy for me to look him up on LinkedIn and see what happened after. Yes, LinkedIn is good for something. Sounds like he landed on his feet.
I'm in the same boat. It seems very common for people to feel burnt out in their careers after the first 5-10 years. Trouble is that the economy seems so intimidating right now.
It’s a great language for sure. I do worry about the bus factor though, especially given they’ve not had a major release since the most prolific contributor left after some community issues.
raku has hit some community issues over the last few years, from (justifiably) standing on the perl versioning when called perl6 and some other issues from time to time.
since the name change to raku some years ago, the tussling over the future of perl has declined to nothing
on the other issues, well many OSS communities suffer from falling out of individuals at times - all the same the raku commit unity is healthy and large enough to be making slow but steady progress toward the release of v6.e, with a lot of cool features already in preview
it’s a supportive and active community and i’d invite you to come over to Discord or IRC and say hi
here are the stats on git rakudo since 20 April…
