I'm not going anywhere and I'm certainly not going to be shitcoining. I think I'll start making a relay implementation for nostr in go.

There has been no commits to the #strfry master branch for 4 months with multiple older and newer PRs waiting to be reviewed and merged. @npub1yxpr...qud4 hasn't published any notes in ~3 months. On GitHub it seems like he is busy with some "Ethereum-vault-connector" project over the last 4 months. Does anyone know if Hoytech has said anything about the future of strfry? I sent him an email yesterday to ask him about the future of strfry but haven't gotten any response yet.

Rust is for hipsters that want to flex that they can learn a difficult language and then use it to make something that could have just used python anyways. Go is a much better swiss army knife. Rust isn't needed in 90% of the projects it's used in. 🤷🏻

Memory safety is handled by higher level languages at the cost of performance. And no it's not needed for applications that don't require security. Again, not everything needs rust.

This was my point ☝🏻 Rust is great. Not dissing it, but if I need a script to rename some files, I'ma use python. Use the right language for the requirements of the project.
