Looks like KBin has an edge over Lemmy now in terms of monthly active users.

It's obviously a pretty silly thing, and is not in any way indicative of which project is "better" or more "long-term viable" or anything — instances of both federate with one another, and with the rest of fedi, so it's all one happy family.

That said, it's notable. KBin is a relative newcomer to the "Reddit-like fedi instance" game, and also does not have the tankie baggage.

Anyway, the more, the merrier!

To be a bit more verbose, I don't think all programming languages are created equal, and its a disservice to pretend it is.

Duck Duck Go was written in Perl. GitHub (originally) in Ruby on Rails.

They're tools only because they're general purpose programming languages. The real path to success is in choosing a tool that you're good at using (no matter how blunt), rather than pretending all tools are equal.

Sure but dissing on languages you don't like will only make devs who like those languages defensive. Not every dev is good only at languages you're good at.
