So, like all engineers, I imagine that my products that I ship will reach massive levels of scale. Such massive level of scale that I need to use elastic compute, so I should expect processes to come and go.
Thus, my processes clearly has to sustain 100k+ connections. And, at a moment's notice, I should expect the process to go "poof". Maybe someone is going to do a kernel upgrade or someone decided to unplug a machine, I don't know!
Having operated with the above assumptions, I found it hard to be wise to avoid that and then invented a programming language that would operate in a modern cloud environment.
I need better hobbies, or not... who knows.
