Services should be decoupled from OS distro dependencies as much as possible, otherwise you will be bitten at an unexpected moment (e.g. upgrading your distro packages) by some problem like this https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Locale_data_changes
This can be solved by building statically (or using something like Nix) or by at least using containers.
I fail to see how being on that list implies anything. Imagine for example if you are a person with some status which implies that you are socially/politically active, and some rich folk calls you and invites you to have a talk at a dinner, would you instantly decline it? For example even if you dislike this class of people, don't you at least feel curious how will this meeting pass? Isn't it an interesting, even useful experience even if you know that you are going to decline any offer he will propose there anyway?
The font rendering is poor, blurry on edges of the letters, even if I increase the font size (which works poorly anyway because the thin column container doesn't scale, keeps its width)
I wouldn't call it noodly.. If her composition was a bit more complex, it would be close to Debussy level probably. She's maybe like minimalist Debussy :) Check her "Ballad of the Spirits" and "The Song of the Sea".
I think, the problem is: the production of languages (and libraries especially) is way too much market-driven, there is too little cooperation, too little time spent to polish and to model at least some major use cases.
Also the quality of education is too poor, too focused on time-to-market - it makes harder for non-seniors to understand e.g. complex type systems (which are required for more usable languages anyway).
A language is released too prematurely -> some companies start to use it -> design problems become clear, but the language is in a compatibility trap at this stage -> e.g. it becomes a swamp or it slowly becomes a monstrosity of design afterthoughts and crutches.
It probably even wouldn't require much more spending from corporations, only some initiative. They anyway already invest considerably in language&toolchain development, but often with wasteful goals.
