I have higher hopes. Java is three times more developers than Rust (https://www.statista.com/statistics/793628/worldwide-developer-survey-most-used-languages/), and you can see in this thread a number of people saying they could contribute as they know Java and not Rust.
Let's hope for the best.
Java is a corporate language that most devs hate. Rust (Lemmy) is more popular as a hobby language that devs enjoy hacking in for fun.
Hm, Java is hated by devs, but still 2nd language on GitHub with 11,7% of the total code hosted, while Rust is number 13 with 1,8%?

Stockholm syndrome.
And even more, the Lemmy codebase doesn't really have any important developers besides the two main devs: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/graphs/contributors.
Even looking at the contributions to something like Mbin, which has been around for much shorter, you already see 6 people with more than 50 commits, while Lemmy has one
https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/graphs/contributors
We have 13 contributors with Sublinks so far. I expect more will come after the announcement.
Java devs like you need to step away from the PC and stop assaulting the world with a terrible language. You should be ashamed of yourselves for inflicting decades of misery on the world.
Java will go the way of COBOL. The future is Nim.
You’re delusional if you believe people care about Nim. It has been around for 16 years and is still nothing in comparison to Java. Java won’t go anywhere and is here to stay.
Or, bare with me..........it's just a it o banter my son.

Thank you
Who, who whooooooooooo dyou think you are?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
"I'm right, and if anyone disagrees, it's because they're brainwashed"
There's literally no possible way to argue against this type of logic.
The weight of my intellect is a heavy burden to bear.
Irrelevant
Typical Java dev attitude.
Thanks but I'm a network engineer, I'm just saying your argument is pointless, the majority of devs support a certain language. How they or you feel about it doesn't matter one bit.
Let me guess, every time a user breaks your app you blame the network don't you? Typical dev.
Look it works on my machine so it's either the network or the idiot user who's the problem.
typical gatekeeper attitude
