Aren’t we lucky that some guy in Germany decided to spend his own time, money, and effort to build it?
Hopefully we’ll get lucky again…
Or, you know, maybe we can finally consider supporting tech that’s in the common good from the common purse. And fund organisations and long-term development, not just ad-hoc academic “projects” that get abandoned the moment the money is gone.
