It was over eleven years ago at this point so my memory may be hazy on the details but I remember something happening in the major version change that pissed me off enough to switch off of it. 🤔

Licenses for sublime text 2 just said “and future updates”. I remember the “lifetime” thing being a selling point on producthunt. This was back in 2013 though, and the weird way the licensing change was handled made me switch to emacs.

Before sublime text 3 all updates were included in the single license, not just major revision updates. This was back in 2013.

Before the one license=one version switch in 2013 the license stated “and future updates” which they did, but they switched to needing to pay for new licenses for some reason. I remember that being the primary reason I switched to emacs.

After having been shafted by sublime text I will never believe anything called a “lifetime subscription” is such.

A “lifetime subscription” is just a “until we decide otherwise” subscription

Again from my experience, knowing lisp (yay guix and emacs) definitely helps me write more elegant code in every language.

I also have to explain almost every single thing I write in code review.

Seems like Linus isn’t onboard with this.

To the contrary:

it would require kernel developers to be savvy in both C and Rust

From my experience knowing how both C and rust works makes you a better developer in both languages.

Did somebody say “provably correct”?

This is cool but also remember the practicalities of Fusion make it not much better than nuclear:
