Why is gcc harmful?
I only run organic software on my PC
bloat
web cancers is toxic enough, I don't need cancer from the other direction
well, he debugged himself eventually

It's a total clusterfuck that follows the motto 'more is better'. Even Stallman agrees it's fucked and wants it replaced with clang.

If only he was alive to see what javascript has become today
is it harmful to alias head to sed 11q?
Why DjVu over PDF that shit is awful and nothing can read it
You should use plaintext formats for everything.

Ok, I'm fucking triggered. Why is Vim and Ruby harmful?
bloat
People are going to be pissed at having C++ or considered harmful, but the real question is why the fuck is UTF-16 still a thing? I can (hardly) understand legacy software, but come on even the 3DS uses it.
There are still people mistaking it for the best compromise between size and required computation power.
In reality, it's has the downsides of both UTF8 and UTF32 without the upsides.
Also a number of worse reasons.

100% agree with this.
the fuck is wrong with pthreads

Just give up on opening docx files with other """Office suites""" than MS Office.
uriel killed himself because he realized that he had already wasted 10 years of his life pretending to be a software hipster. he didn't really give a shit about free software or freedom, he just wanted to be a contrarian.
Use GCC, if you value your life.
> all the software and all the ideas from plan9 are great. everything else is harmful and sucks.
Try being less opinionated
If you followed go development at all you would understand.

ITT: people who don't understand why harmful software is harmful.
Uriel's argument wasn't that you should never use any harmful software ever. Harmful software is harmful because it's designed in a way that fetishizes features instead of focusing on simplicity of implementation and adaptability of simple yet powerful tools.
Plan 9's philosophy of building tools was that of a good lathe instead of a swiss army knife. A simple mechanism provides several use cases, yet doesn't try to shoehorn itself where it's not appropriate. Uriel appreciated such design and that's why he considered them less harmful alternatives to commonly used things he considered to propagate harmful habits.
Harmfulness isn't a boolean either. All code is harmful, some of it just sucks more and some less.
Shut up
Unfortunately, Plan 9's tools are below the complex-enough-to-be-useful-at-all threshhold.
Uriel debugged himself when he recognized this.

we have a board dedicated to threads like this, it's called

Why?
woah this guys dead
>All code is harmful
>Uriel's argument
wonder if he killed himself in the same way. Stay dead, loser.
Why all the good people die so early? Is it grief? is it the realization that life is mundane and predictable?
I have often wondered if we have reached the pinnacle of civilization and this is as good as it will ever get.
hi aiju
depression is a real illness. many people are simply not sound of mind when they resort to suicide. they needed help and it did not come in time.
you only have to look at the edgy faggots in this thread to understand why people are reluctant to seek help.
If Uriel hadn't died the Go community wouldn't have fallen prey of SJWs.
>good people
Is hypocrisy that good?
He died because he was a clusterfuck.
there is nothing wrong with SVG
>listening to anything a lolbertarian has to say
There is literally nothing wrong with private roads
harmful.cat-v.org
can't find anything about vim, probably because bloat (although you can compile almost anything out)
What a fucking hippie. Exactly the kind that makes me cringe
>no sosig i'm a vegn
Unix neckbeard. Too bad he upgraded his i386 before his pathetic death.
I didn't know you were THAT new, namefag
because it's too mainstream. that's all there is to it. has nothing to do with freedom. uriel was just another shitty dime-a-dozen contrarian. the no job and suicide reflect this
freedom? what are you talking about?
postscript is good and it's in alternatives

Its a shit compiler.
when is Uriel coming back?
This desu
He's right: simple, modular programs should be used in conjuction, rather than the fuckhuge do-everything programs we run.
