Am I the only one that loves the monolith? Apart from the scaling mentioned in the article, this feels like accidental complexity. And, let's face it, 95% of apps are about serializing complex business problems into code. Also, I don&#

For those wondering, this is not a Truffle/Graal initiative[1]. They don't seem to offer access to PHP C Extensions. I wonder if this will be easy to do when Sulong[2] is ready. But this is great to see another project towards the

Exact same thing as Node allowing people specialized in javascript to easily transition to the server. There is nothing for me in it, there is nothing for you in it, but there is something in it for the swift developers (and thus, for IBM).
