So what you're saying is, the only language you know well enough to get paid for is PHP, yet you consider yourself an expert on all other languages to the extent that you can claim that it doesn't matter what language you use. See, that's just the problem the OP complains about: nobody in the PHP community has a clue. Guaranteed to gain no wisdom there.
If you can't find decent people to work with in PHP, then you're probably not good enough yourself. No matter what language you'll switch to, you'll find yourself down in the dregs.
The thing is, with PHP it's the blind leading the blind. Nobody has a clue, and starts with Rasmus (by his own admission). No skilled programmer would put up with PHP for any significant amount of time, life is too short for that aggravation. The corollary is, PHP crap never gets fixed because nobody with the skill is willing to go sewer diving to the extent that would be necessary.
the Linux way of things is so much better, where binaries from one distro won't run on another because of ever so slightly different versions between libraries or changes to ABI
Got specific examples or is it more fun to fart out generic claims cluelessly?
Sounds like anti-competitive meddling to me. This is exactly why we elected Trump, to reduce regulations and allow business to succeed rather than have government hinder them.
Oh, how right, now let's live under a russian controlled mafia council instead and be hindered only by daily street corner executions on 5th avenue, while converting the national parks to toxic waste dumps.
It is not about security though I do seriously doubt Google's ability to secure a complex system as well as the Linux community does.
Google contributes and signs off on Linux kernel patches. Google is a major part of the Linux community.
Google contributes 1/3rd the changes vs Intel, 1/2 of Red Hat, and less that Suse even, a miniscule company by comparison. I say, not pulling their weight.
The GPL copyright license provides at least some check on Google's abuse of its market power.
Fuchsia is open source. The GPL adds nothing in this case.
Just shows the depth of your ignorance. Android is "visible source". You can see it, but Google does not give a shit if you want to change it. Google does not give a shit about what Android users want from it, only about monetizing their eyeballs. Fuschia will be like that. A huge step down from the vibrant and inclusive Linux kernel community.
... including abusing your private data in any way that suits it...
Again, that takes place at the applications level, not the OS level, not the kernel level, and Linux provides no barrier whatsoever in Android or ChromeOS today.
In short, Google aspires to be the new Microsoft, including the full evil part. You should worried about your private data, very worried.
The Linux kernel hosting Android or ChromOS adds **zero** protection for your private data. Its replacement changes nothing in this regard.
It is not about security though I do seriously doubt Google's ability to secure a complex system as well as the Linux community does. The GPL copyright license provides at least some check on Google's abuse of its market power. Lose that and Google's descent to full evil will greatly accelerate, including abusing your private data in any way that suits it. Be worried, and don't continue in your clueless daze. This agenda is not exactly subtle.
Nice exercise in whataboutism. Both Google and Microsoft are corrupt criminal racketeers, the gap has been closing between them ever since Google went IPO (or arguably before that). Let's not niggle over which is worse, they both need attitude readustment.
I'm actually completely surprised that both Google AND Apple haven't yet been sued for anti-competitive things in their mobile devices: Google for the tight bundling of the Google Play Services and Apple for preventing competing products appearing on the App Store.
That's just a tiny tip of the iceberg of market control abuse that forms the basic business plans of Google, Apple and Microsoft (the latter only for PCs now, thanks for small mercies). If I had to pick one problem that is worse than all the others, it is contractual control of OEMs. That is, Google tells android vendors what they can and can't do if they want to call their phones "Android". This is, in a word, criminal.
Just waiting for the Ryzen+ version to pull the trigger on my first PC upgrade since 2009. Gonna go future proof for the next ten years with a 16 or 24-core Threadripper2
It seems to me that now there is less enthusiasm for Python. Is that correct?
Python has longstanding performance issues that the project governance has declined to address, giving a big boost to more sensible/responsive projects like Go. And the mandatory whitespace is just idiotic, sorry but it is. Plus scoping is crappy and if you want to do static typing, sorry you just can't.

Don't blame tools for the things that people do with them. You'll find the same problems wherever you go.
There's a special place in hell for the likes of you, writing Cobol code for the rest of eternity.

This will in no way become just a front end for torrent sites. Nah.
What do you think Youtube is?
Well, if you build for Ubuntu 18.04 and then try to run on say RHEL6, then you are going to have fundamental challenges.
Build what?
Object-oriented shell languages are pretty rad
Sure, it's like an awkward substitute for a Python script if that floats your boat.
I know right? It's weird, but It's what happens when Microsoft hires the Gnome mafia.

No. Its what happens when one competitor wins the competition.
No, it's what happens when a company with market control breaks the law.

I wonder, which arrogant Googler with mod points[1] modded your post "offtopic"?
[1] Mod points awarded because of reading/posting Slashdot regularly instead of working, which tenured Googlers really hate.
Will it isolate the users from their hardware even more?
Yes. And will enable Google to grow even more arrogant that it already is.

Amazon quietly working on a search engine. Take that, Google assholes!
Well, and the value isn't there.

Why not 32?
Thankyou for stepping down Guido. Now maybe something can seriously be done about Python's crappy performance.
Yah, whoever modded that down can consider themselves part of the luddite mafia dedicated to keeping Python crappy. Proud of yourself.
See, this is why Python still sucks.

Interpreted language for performance critical system?
The lack of clue is strong in this one. Java also has an interpreter but it light years ahead of Python in performance.
