Microservices don't help polyglots make regexes faster. If you're sticking a 100ns operation behind an endpoint with JSON serialization/deserialization, network

  Note wink at end of dangerlibrary's post!

    A wink does not necessarily mean sarcasm? I agree that in this case it probably does, but I don't see how that use of sarcasm adds anything substantive to the conversation (aside from a not-relevant-to-this-post dig on microservices, perhaps).

      i think he was making a joke... (dangerlibrary)
    • derefr 10y ago
      What the wink means is that dangerlibrary was making the same point you made in your reply to them.

  Actually this microservices approach has existed for decades in erlang/otp and can maintain quite excellent speed. You're not going to beat raw c speed-wise, but typically you will beat comparable dynamic languages -- and you don't have to worry about decoding/encoding json or any of that bs. I'd personally be absolutely thrilled if something like genserver and some other otp protocols were ported to other dynamic languages -- but alas real processes aren't nearly efficient enough.

    You can also delegate to C with Erlang via NIFs

        Yes, that's been on my (long) list of things to check out.
