“DBus is seriously screwed up”
This whole pulling crap out of the Linux kernel mailing list is doing the industry a disservice.<p>Quotes are taken out of context, used by people who lack the required technical understanding, which then reach the ears of managers, who will promptly act on overblown concerns. All of it somehow backed by Linus' word, even when he doesn't actually mean it.<p>I've started a stopwatch to see how long it will take for some of my former coworkers to contact me with concerns about DBus. We used it pretty heavily.<p>As for DBus itself: guys, it is useful. It works. You can count on it being there and working in most distributions, you can talk to most things nowadays. Its easy to use (for most use cases), language bindings are everywhere.<p>So, turns out is slow. It's so cool that we have identified that. Let's fix it.<p>Even if the slowness doesn't seem to bother many of its use cases.
