pantsbuild #random

An observation that no-one asked me to share. The way we use this workspace, with the well disciplined single idea thread use, fit the discourse model for discussions: https://www.discourse.org/ They don't have an Open Source hosted version so the software would need somewhere to run; this probably stops this observation dead in its tracks. Unless someone else has thought this, please forget I've spoken.

@jolly-midnight-72759 I've used it only briefly when I needed to ask a question in other open-source communities that were running zulip. I wouldn't say I've used it enough to have a strong opinion about it specifically

I can take a look at Zulip, anyone have opinions?

anything that we don’t pay for is likely to disappear

so would want to confirm that they’re not going anywhere and/or help to ensure that they don’t disappear

zulip is an open-source project so we could in principle self-host; https://zulipchat.com/plans/ is their pricing

"Yes! Zulip Cloud Standard is free for open source projects."

https://matrix.org/ is another open-source chat project. I'm personally a fan of the project, and I have some experience running it on my own hardware, but I think it's probably still a little immature

but fyi the pricing plans from the main company behind matrix are: https://element.io/plans-and-pricing/pro

@jolly-midnight-72759 one more data point - the blender official chat (https://blender.chat/home) , which I've used a bit and have had no problems with, uses another open-source slack-like called rocket chat (https://rocket.chat/)

@hundreds-father-404 utterly fantastic analogy especially because it’s hypothesized that cancer arises (not solely) through what’s currently known as “junk DNA”

just talked with someone who suggested “rants” as a possible new name for pants in the future if it ever ends up having more rust than python (the name being a portmanteau of “python + ant”) and if i ever give a rust conference talk about it i am probably going to sprinkle that in somewhere
