Is this tool beyond creating diagrams? If not, I don’t grasp the point of porting, writing the diagram is like scripting, for which python is arguably a better choice.
I hope this isn’t a trend similar to Atwood's Law: “Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.”
- iCarrot 6y agoIt is, and with "written in Go" being part of the advertisement.
- cloverich 6y agoIts a funny law but ultimately people like using the tools and languages they know. And most languages are good. So id expect youd see most things ported to most languages excepting where they are prohibitivley expensive. Also making things is fun.
- takeda 6y agoI've been using some nodejs applications as tools to deploy other applications (for example serverless) and while it works it is the most trouble causing frameworks. It absolutely has to created node_modules in center of your source code, and populate it with 120MB of files. If you want to just package it somehow so to make it more like cli tool (like you could do with awscli for example) then tough luck it will break in many weird ways. It's like the nodejs people threw out everything we learned in decades and are reinventing the wheel. Yes it works great if you have your own project in a single directory and working on it, but any other use case is a horrible experience.
