I wasn't commenting on the specifics of this case; just that the general provisional that offering something for free absolves you off any responsibly is completely wrong.

Yeah but that is only...

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW

Typescript is JavaScript, just with static type annotations.

Ah you're expecting users to browse with no JS enabled. Does Radicle's web interface actually require JS anyway? And either way that's no reason to pick C over Typescript.

Cradicle’s web interface improves security by keeping all the complex functionality in the HTML server and serving pure scriptless HTML to web browsers instead.

That isn't really any more secure.

I hear it allows more control over compiler behavior

Not in a good way - more like a "oh good what compiler flags do I need to mess with to make this code work?" way 😄

there should be radicle apps in multiple coding languages, like there are BitTorrent apps in multiple coding languages.

Reasonable. C is still a poor choice though.

Is Tor really "straightforward"? It sounds anything but.

Also C? In 2026? Radicle seems to be written mostly in Rust, with Typescript for the web interface. Why on earth would you want to downgrade to C?

Also I believe Mold only supports ELF.

And based on the benchmarks they've posted, Wild is even faster than Mold.

Lol, I know absolutely nothing about Postman but seriously suggesting Bash scripts, curl and grep as a way to test APIs is a nice way to tell people not to bother listening to your worthless opinions!

A Python script is far more reasonable.

What I always really wanted was some kind of linker script debugger. Let me step through the linker script, show me all the input objects & segments etc.

Linker scripts are one of the worst aspects of the GNU (and LLVM) toolchain. Weird custom language, poor documentation, quite buggy, zero debugging tools.

Anyway, impressively huge release!

They're not over yet but they definitely have an uncertain future.

Yeah I would say issues are minimal lock-in since they barely have any features (just labels I guess?) and can easily be exported. CI must be the biggest lock-in. If you have a complex CI system that makes use of lots of third party actions it could be a decent amount of work to migrate it. But not a huge amount.
