  • but Im seeing syntax that Ive never seen in my life

    Which languages do you know? What is your background?

    What is wrong with “var test int”? There is no need for a return type, if the function returns nothing. Thats the language design and I think it is easy to remember.

    func(u User) hi ()

    u is something like self in Python and hi() is a method of User.

    Please explain why do you think something is too messy, also with which languages you have already worked.





  • It’s not security debt, it’s just general technical debt.

    I would also say, that this is just technical debt. I also fully understand, that there are things like breaking changes. I remember clearly when we used asyncore in the past for Python at work and then it became deprecated. It was still possible to use it for a long time, but a change was needed. Such breaking changes caused work and are not nice. Especially if it is a big software.

    On the other side, I am not happy if I buy software or hardware, which has probably insecure dependencies. I understand the developers, I am also one, and I know that many things are not under their control. I am also not blaming them. But it is a no-go if something new is sold with 10-year-old OpenSSH Server, 15-year-old curl or other things.

    But I am not taking exotic vulnerabilities that seriously. Like, if you need specific constellations, so this is somehow hackable.
