Readit NewsI would also hope so, that is the entire point. The reason they are scrambling right now is because Starlink just shut off all of Russia. Because Starlink was so cheap and easy (and stable for the last 4 years of the war), a lot of people in Russia stopped using any other form of internet access. And while all of Europe is happy to see Russia go away, they are concerned that the same can be done to them at a whim by any number of American companies. So they are trying to quickly create alternatives to anything American including software providers like Microsoft 360.
As for credit cards, it is not as if there is something intrinsically American in credit card processing. They can just as easily create a new system that uses the same protocols as Visa and Mastercard.
Having your entire economy dependent on a company you don't control in a country you don't control was considered acceptable for as long as a concept of "allies" existed. That is not the world we are living in right now.
It's so tiring.

Go should have been the obvious choice but for a reason I don't understand I dislike its syntax. For Rust I understand: it uses a lot of special characters that aren't easy to remember and to type with a non qwerty keyboards (plus other unrelated pain points). For the different lisp, it was the parenthesis and the reverse polish notation. But for Go, I'm unable to rationalize why I don't like it.
For the anecdote, I settled on compiling my python code with nuitka. No speed gain that I'm aware of but I can now provides a binary. I'm also looking more and more at C# because of its progressing AOT compilation and although I dislike the verbosity of its base mode and the fact it's so tied to windows.
I liked a lot nim and crystal but the small community was a barrier, although I'm really impressed by what nim is managing to do with such a small community and it may me think it's an excellent language
(I will try to motivate myself to pick up one of the language I mentionned above also)
Dotnet Core is not tied to windows except for certain frameworks like wpf (and there are alternatives for it that work everywhere), credential store.
And it's actually really good to use these days.
