Would love to see a non JVM kafka alternative. But, I wish people would stop building infrastructure with C/C++ when there are safer alternatives like rust and go.
- LaurenceW1 10y agoReally? Safer? How about writing things in languages that are more mature instead of hoping on the newest bandwagon.
- _jezell_ 10y agoSaid the assembly programmer to the C programmer.
- dozzie 10y agoGiven that Kafka is a message router, what don't you like about Fluentd (Ruby) or Heka (Go)?
- _jezell_ 10y agoBesides the fact that ruby performance is terrible and heka was deprecated and abandoned by Mozilla due to design flaws (https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/heka/2016-May/001059.html https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/heka/2016-May/001059.html)?
- dozzie 10y agoI'm not to defend Heka, as I don't use it, but those "design flaws" only concerned development, not operations. If you read the message you quote, you would see that Mozilla is still using it. And I take it you have measured Fluentd's performance, so you say so from experience, not flail around the typical opinion about language that can safely be attached to Java as well?
