@musicman I know #django moved to LiberaChat, but #python is still debating it. #haskell is moving also. I also checked #nim, but I did not see any discussion about moving.
Neither Evan nor Alex have expressed an opinion about moving #pump.io, so I suspect it will remain on Freenode. I checked #hubzilla, but there doesn’t appear to have been any discussion about it. I left #friendica after someone set up a really noisy bridgebot, so I don’t know whether they’re moving. I also left #mastodon
Freenode is the official IRC host for the GNU project, so a lot of GNU software is awaiting a decision from GNU.
(All hashtags above are names of Freenode IRC channels / rooms, some of which are in the process of moving to Libera.Chat or OFTC.)
"Welcome to #django || Following the news around Freenode on 2021-May-19, we're moving all Django related channels to https://libera.chat . ... " -- join message for irc:/irc.freenode.net/#django
I figured they would wait for !Python's PSF to decide for all #python related channels.

BLOCKED as a “porn site”. Apparently, there was a python dot com that was a #pr0n site, so they blocked any URL with “python” in it, including python dot org.
Me: Can you guys take a look at python.org and see that it is not the #porn site?
IT Security: No. The user just can’t use the software until there’s an approved version that ships with the updated Python it needs.
(Sometimes, supporting users means being a user advocate, tilting at windmills.)
Finding the #Nim language interesting because it reminds me of !Python.
It has some similarities to #Python, at least on the surface level that the 2nd video explores, along with compiling to #C (so interfacing with C via FFI is said to be “easy”).
Flawesome. Linux native since 1995. On Fedi since 2008. Working in #Racket, #Tcl, #Python, whatever gets the page up. Solving yesterday's problems tomorrow. A dad. Freddiemercurykin.
Every post of mine is an open invitation to advice or information or critique or disagreement. Fire away. If I don't appreciate your contribution, I'll let you know.
Seeing that tables (which are dictionaries—associative arrays—that can also act as regular arrays if numeric keys are used) are the only data structure, it sort of twists my mind into contortions trying to imagine how to structure certain kinds of data. That’s good, IMO, because history (took classes decades ago on BASIC, COBOL, Pascal, C, C++, Java, ...) predisposes me to look for arrays and records (or objects that encapsulate records) as the building blocks.
I’ve also downloaded (but not yet installed) #Erlang and #Elixir for Windows.
We support products on Windows, Mac, and #Linux. Occasionally, you might see some old Solaris or BSD servers (or some other random stuff), but that really doesn't happen much.
We support #git and #Jenkins integrations, as well as #maven and a bunch of other stuff I don't ever touch, but people on my team do.
Apache knowledge would be useful, but not required. My colleague who started the same day I did doesn't really do any scripting. He's pretty much a pure server performance guy. That said, we support APIs for #ruby, #python, #js, #groovy, #perl, #java, #c++ and #php. Also, #C knowledge would be useful
Basically, if you have any cross-platform experience at all, and are technical, you'd be a good fit.
