Disqus is really bad in terms of privacy of users [0] (that article was from 2014, now I guess it's on par with most other sites).
I'm not really sure what the answer is as if it's going to work on a static site, the comments need some sort of backend. Most people aren't going to host it themselves, so that leads to these issues, as nobody will pay for a commenting system.

We do have programmer, developer and engineer. I assume the framework developer will come in league of developer while the user is programmer
