That is the proof what is left is a workaround, just like pilling minis on racks because Apple left the server space.

Also why Swift nowadays has to have good Linux support, if app developers want to share code with the server.

A workaround that works is better than an official solution that's barely adequate. Which is often the case.

  • Or just maybe, to use a Steve Jobs quote, one is holding it wrong and should look elsewhere.

    • People sneer at this Steve Jobs quote, but almost anybody working in tech had at some point quoted another, stronger, quote like "We tried to make the program idiot proof, but they keep making better idiots".

      There's also: "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."
