reminder that golang was developed by Google, and technology companies like them use technology, even open sourced technology, to establish and maintain dominance
@walruslifestyle Isn't gitbucket built with Scala, which runs on the Java virtual machine? And isn't Java mainly controlled by Oracle?
@starbreaker @walruslifestyle fwiw with the JVM, it's more like oracle dictating the byte-code spec the same way intel dictates the x86 spec. (And I think they handed off JVM dev to the openJVM crew? But the java ecosystem isn't very clear tbh)
Also you can compile your go with gcc (but concerns over google dictating go's design are still valid)
Gitlab is ruby on rails so it doesn't have those issues but it /will/ eat all your RAM, and only Gitlab Core is Free
@jelle_dc @starbreaker yeah i'm not real clear on this either but i use openjdk, which you can get the source code for if you really want. oracle does have its hands in what the jvm is/does, but impls are sorta free?
