Quoting Bruce Perens via License-discuss (license-discuss@lists.opensource.org):

There's not a single unclustered GitHub (Ruby on Rails-based, plus a Javascript engine) instance in the world that can scale to serve the needs of a sizeable customer like, say, my old firm Cadence Design Systems, the large Electronic Design Automation-industry company. Whereas, Gitea (Golang-based) can probably do that from a Raspberry Pi.[1] And the brittleness of Ruby on Rails, and consequent existence of an entire consultant industry, all with swung-chicken-carcass-at-midnight recipes, is famous. As to the Crystal programming language, I hear it does indeed have nice features including compilation to native code, but suggesting rewriting Ruby on Rails codebases as from-scratch reimplementations in Crystal (the latter having syntax similar to Ruby but not being compatible) is, um, probably a wise idea but not something I intend to devote my remaining years to. [1] Untested. It runs very well from a RPI, anyway. If not sufficing to serve Cadence from a RPi, I'll bet at least Synopsys or Mentor Graphics from a RPi. ;-> _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@lists.opensource.org http://lists.opensource.org/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org
