    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

      There was a fair amount specifically upset that the creators had not decided to focus their efforts on contributing to lemmy directly. I personally think that’s silly as it’s not hard to find folks who’ve tried and had a terrible experience.

      All I could imagine is that Lemmy devs and others thought they were wasting their time and should contribute to Lemmy. And people didn’t like Java as a choice.

      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.
