I don’t think we should frame this in terms of being “competitors.” Developing software can be fun, and it is also part of the learning process.

I forked GoToSocial to create Aktor because I wanted to add features that, in my opinion, were missing.

Now I’m carefully studying the #snac2 code and developing something similar in Ada/SPARK. Why? Because it’s fun, and because I wanted to refresh my Ada skills.

So why call us “competitors”? What would be the point? Where exactly is the market in which we are supposed to be competing?

I think we should stop fighting and try to cooperate instead. The Fediverse is not going to build itself, and I don’t see the point of implementing federation in software if the people developing it refuse to federate with one another and choose to “compete” instead.

I think I owe you a few words of thanks as well. After spending months reading and studying your code, I finally learned how to tame ActivityPub well enough to build an instance of my own in Ada/SPARK.

It is not a port—Ada is far too different from C, especially when SPARK is involved—but I could never have done it without #snac2.

If you are ever in Düsseldorf, please let me know. I owe you a beer. Or two.

If you want to give phanpy a try, I run an instance of it here.
