   @ekaitz_zarraga in the process of writing a #gopher client: "When software has few dependencies or no dependencies at all you have more control over the process of making it. People who code in popular programming languages have even more libraries than we need and it’s really hard to stop the temptation to use them." Thoughts I've had myself when I decided to write Gridmapper using Vanilla JS.

     @kensanata @ekaitz_zarraga totally agree! This is why I was attracted to writing in Golang: the default http package was robust and sufficient to build off of. I think I was really unfair to Java early in my career because all I saw was poorly applied, bloated framework code and just assumed the language was garbage.

     @crispy @kensanata @ekaitz_zarraga So what you're saying is Java can be a great language as long as you don't use other people's code.
