Deja vu
I think he's trying to justify the project given some of the hate
Has there been any hate? (honestly asking) I didn't catch any of it. I was just confused as to why one would choose Java for a web app, but other than that I welcome any new platform. Thats exactly what makes the fediverse great
Lots of angry comments in the post announcing Sublinks in this community, mostly criticizing Java choice
Language snobs will be snobby.
Meanwhile sublinks will enjoy a much much larger potential developer pool; how many people are actually proficient in Rust? It's an awesome language and it's getting more popular, but it's nowhere near the experience base of java.
