Ten years? Try one year. I've had massive problems upgrading Gradle between consecutive major versions despite always trying to stick to the rules (as I understand them) and never using deprecated or experimental features. Maven simply doesn't have these problems.

Search for Gradle discussions on HN if you're interested, the rough consensus of this site (if there is such a thing) seems to confirm my experience.

GC is but one component of the massive operating system that is current web browsers. This is classic anti-Rust "argument" which states that code with tiny islands of well tested and thoroughly reviewed unsafe functions is somehow equal to 100% unsafe C++.

It's been discussed at length multiple times. This should be enough to get you started on further research:

Now we only need to force bloggers to stop using GitHub Gist embeds. Hugo (and probably other static site generators) has built-in support for code snippets with syntax highlighting, and more dynamic sites can rely on highlight.js which removes dependence on third-party services. It's just insane, using heavy iframes for small code snippets.
