Yuna<p>🎭 NATS: When Your Digital Child Becomes the Prize in a Custody Battle</p><p>Reminder to all companies:<br>If you build your empire on open-source and contribute nothing back, don't be surprised when the ground starts cracking.</p><p>NATS, one of the few messaging systems that actually works without summoning ancient demons, now finds itself torn between its creators at Synadia and its adoptive guardians at CNCF. Like any good custody battle, it’s about one thing: Money. 🤑</p><p>As a tiny contributor to NATS, it fills me with childlike glee and existential dread to witness what happens when open source ideals collide headfirst with cold, hard business reality.<br>It’s a classic story:<br>A vendor generously donates an open-source jewel… only to demand it back when the math stops adding up.</p><p>Synadia, the ever-devoted parent, wants to put NATS under the Business Source License (BSL) to secure its survival. Meanwhile, CNCF holds the project in a loving but legally fortified embrace, refusing to let go.</p><p>CNCF, clutching its righteous torch of community ownership, refuses to hand over the toys, reminding Synadia: “You gave it away. There are rules. Also… you signed things.”</p><p>As a microscopic speck in this universe of giants, I have one simple emotion: sadness.<br>Sadness that the best technology can still be crushed under the weight of human greed, misaligned incentives, and tragic irony.</p><p>OSS survives because we believe in it. OSS dies when we monetize belief.</p><p>Whatever happens, little NATS deserves better than a lawsuit. It deserves a future.</p><p>Will I stop contributing to NATS?<br>No. I'm far too stubborn for that.<br>Will I trust it the same way?<br>Ask me again when the lawsuits stop.</p><p>⚡ Still contributing. Still dreaming. Still worried.</p><p>Sources: <br>* cncf.io: <a href="https://www.cncf.io/blog/2025/04/24/protecting-nats-and-the-integrity-of-open-source-cncfs-commitment-to-the-community/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cncf.io/blog/2025/04/24/protec</span><span class="invisible">ting-nats-and-the-integrity-of-open-source-cncfs-commitment-to-the-community/</span></a><br>* thestack: <a href="https://www.thestack.technology/we-want-it-back-synadia-tries-to-claw-nats-back-from-a-shocked-cncf/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thestack.technology/we-want-it</span><span class="invisible">-back-synadia-tries-to-claw-nats-back-from-a-shocked-cncf/</span></a><br>* Nats.io: <a href="https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/documents/nats/Proposal%20to%20exit%20NATS%20from%20CNCF.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/cncf/foundation/blo</span><span class="invisible">b/main/documents/nats/Proposal%20to%20exit%20NATS%20from%20CNCF.pdf</span></a><br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/natsio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>natsio</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/cncf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cncf</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/synadia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>synadia</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/techdrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>techdrama</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/softwareengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>softwareengineering</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/NATS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NATS</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OSS</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BusinessSourceLicense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BusinessSourceLicense</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DeveloperLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeveloperLife</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SupportOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SupportOSS</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coding</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a></p>

Dr. Leon KumsWhy We Rewrote All Our Rust Code in Perl and Raku at SBI — And Why It Worked<br><br>In a bold move that raised more than a few eyebrows, Dr. K, our visionary CEO at SBI, led the initiative to rewrite all of our Rust codebase in Perl 🐪 and Raku 🦋. Yes, you read that right — Rust 🦀 out, Perl and Raku in.<br><br>What seemed unconventional at first turned out to be one of the most strategically sound decisions we’ve made:<br><br>Unparalleled Expressiveness ✨: Raku’s powerful syntax and Perl’s mature libraries gave our teams the agility to iterate faster and express complex logic with clarity.<br><br>Developer Productivity ⚡: Our engineers experienced a significant boost in productivity. Fewer lines of code, less boilerplate, and highly flexible scripting accelerated both prototyping and deployment.<br><br>Legacy Interoperability 🏛️: Perl's vast ecosystem allowed seamless integration with legacy systems, saving us months of re-engineering work.<br><br>Community &amp; Support 🤝: While not as trendy, the Perl and Raku communities provided deep, battle-tested solutions to problems we faced.<br><br>This wasn’t just about tech—it was about culture. Dr. K reminded us that innovation doesn’t always mean following the newest trend; sometimes it means re-examining the tools we overlook and discovering new potential in them.<br><br>The results? ✅ More stable code, ✅ happier devs, and ✅ improved time to market.<br><br>Curious about how we made the transition? Let’s connect — I’d love to share what we learned.<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/techleadership" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechLeadership</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/softwareengineering" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareEngineering</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/perl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perl</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/raku" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Raku</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/innovation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Innovation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/rust" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/sbi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SBI</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/engineeringculture" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EngineeringCulture</a>
