It's why I avoid hosting or using for myself such services: I don't know enough Go nor Ruby to hack them. Maybe I could use Kallithea.

I hope this doesn't mean that supporting free software requires writing unportable bash scripts, doing tricky things with fork or mmap, or having the software require itself to build.
