That statement is meaningless. The government provides incentives and deductions for certain reasons (e.g. buying electric cars, home offices, charity contributions, etc.). It's put into law by the lawmakers.

Insurance almost surely contributed to increased costs. Hospitals inflate costs because they want to charge more money to the insurance providers, and they get away with it.

Any non-trivial project will require an IDE to manage complexity regardless of language. It's tautological.

C# is a much more powerful language than golang, with great monitoring and introspection tools. C# also has nuget (among others) for package management.

The CCP has already decided to be a bully, and it seems its people are supporting them (except the poor ones being murdered like the Uighurs). Let them get a taste of their own medicine.

And that's the problem. The CCP has been left to do whatever it wants and it reached a point where it is "too big to fail". Is this the kind of world we want the next generation to live in? The sooner we put a stop to this me

What alternative model would you suggest? Green threads still introduce bugs (race conditions), and fight over resources (DB connections, filesystem, etc.)

You'd be surprised at their arguments. I've seen golang being used in areas where it is a terrible fit for, and when I ask about why they think it's a good fit, the arguments are very vague, hand wavy, and show the lack of ex
