@richardjh@phpc.social so am i right that #perl and #php and #lua and #lisp and #forth are the only ones left without bigtech dominating and deciding where languages go.

@richardjh@phpc.social ok after all that comments maybe i should say it diffrently. Maybe we should stop using languages that are hyped by a bazillion blogs and just stay with languages that are just renowen and proofen by time.

@m3tti@functional.cafe @richardjh@phpc.social not sure about PHP, Facebook definitely has had quite a bit of influence on the language some years ago, bit maybe that was a healthy thing rather than a corporate takeover. The advantage of common lisp is of course that its a standard, not just a language. How about Rust? Would you consider Mozilla "bigtech"?
