Few people seem to be using these. At a guess the dev experience is not great.

- sgarland 2y agoFrankly, I think devs need to stop being such primmadonnas about DX. Not everything has a slick UI that does most of the work for you. Take Linux, for example: you have to email your PR as a patch, inline as plaintext to a mailing list. Yet somehow, they manage, and it had an incredibly active community.
- fulafel 2y agoAlternative programming languages are all about DX. PL/pgsql is turing complete after all.
- sgarland 2y agoIt is indeed, but I’ll be the first to admit it’s a bit clunky to use beyond a few variables and actions. Sorry for snapping. I’m exhausted with devs complaining that some older and well-established piece of tech (Postgres, HAProxy, nginx to name a few) isn’t easy enough to use, and then using something demonstrably worse, or writing their own terrible version of it. Work trauma.
