- throwaway894345 6y agoMy impression of Postgres development is markedly different. It seems like each release since 8 or 9 has brought significant, exciting new features. I don’t pay close attention, but IIRC, a lot of investment has gone into JSON, window functions, and lots of miscellaneous but important things (e.g., upsert). Meanwhile Go’s language changes have all been minor and boring (not a bad thing!).
