C# is regularly under-represented in OSS, in part because for most of it’s existence, the primary implementation (.NET Framework) was not open source or cross platform. It is also very popular in fields where open source is not the norm (game development, bespoke backend infrastructure, embedded apps).
I said it was easy to find C# developers, not that there were more of them on Github.
If the number of possible contributors on github is the big factor here then Python is the obvious choice at 18%.
I understand that being a problem for Rust, but not for many of the other “better than Java” languages on this list. Like, I dunno…C#?
If I’m being honest though, I just really hate Oracle, and that’s enough to give me pause over anything they dip their fingers in.
Or C#, it’s literally “Java, but good”.
The only time I would choose Java for a new project is if I had a hard dependency on something that only works with Java…

I don’t know, I have yet to find a proper replacement for /r/Games. Everything I find is either considerably lower quality, or specialized for a particular game or genre.
I don’t think the quality of content here has been as high as I would have liked. Over on lemmy.world/c/games, the moderation and post/comment quality are well below below what I would have expected from /r/Games in its glory days. For example, all the highest voted comments on the Starfield impressions thread are karma-whoring single sentence meme responses about pre-orders, “patient gamers”, or piracy, all completely off-topic for an impressions thread.
My experience with the /r/startrek mods is that while they aren’t super transparent, their actions are usually justified.
A lot of people who get banned for “the wrong opinions” aren’t banned for their opinion, they are banned fro their aggressive behavior. Some people want a space where they can be loud and angry, and those mods don’t want to provide that space. I’m fine with that. I don’t like communities where I log in and the top posts are always people loudly making the same complaints day in and day out. Plenty of negative opinions and discussion were allowed on /r/startrek, as long as it was kept civil and constructive.
Just a few weeks ago we ran into this on tildes, a site not even dedicated to star trek. We had someone complaining about the /r/startrek mods, then going on to post really angry yet lazy comments about Star Trek that do not fit the Tildes community guidelines. They were asked to straighten up. It’s not about the opinions, it’s about the behavior.
startrek.website already exists though.
Yeah, but then you still have an Oracle dependency in your stack 🤮
