Nice work! There are a few expressions of this idea. There's a reason people keep coming back to it: it's actually really nice to write markup this way. https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup https:/&#x2

Heh, I haven't seen that particular datetime constraint before, thanks for that!

This is super cool! I like your method for handling the claiming of queue items. I always end up wishing SQLite had something like Postgres' LISTEN/NOTIFY/SKIP LOCKED but your UPDATE solution is nice and low tech and fitting

Sure! And in a lot of ways this is about values more than technology.

SQLite's types are quite loose by default, no doubt. There is a somewhat recent STRICT mode that strengthens them: https://www.sqlite.org/stricttables.html

Oh I read the post and a few of the other linked posts so I'm aware. If we're storing a file, we're already storing a file of some kind, so we're just talking about what kind of file it is. I'm just talking about a

Valid points and I generally agree! I think you're probably right that the SQLite dependency is possibly too much for some applications to pull in, though I will ask why we're so often willing to pull in more or less anything else

I've worked a few jobs now where application data was stored in text files of various kinds (homegrown as well as well-defined formats, JSON included) and it pretty quickly becomes a mess when you start talking about modifying it over

Excellent - thank you for the example and the clarification. This is exactly what I was looking for.

I second this. Awk is one of my favorite programming languages (I would even say, one of my favorite tools) and "The AWK Programming Language" is definitely a worthy book.

Nice work! I will have to check out your implementation and see if I can borrow any of your optimization ideas. I built jindex ( https://github.com/ckampfe/jindex ) because I also wanted a faster gron!

I like it a lot. The big advantage of Rustler vs. say, writing C or using Zig's equivalent, is that you can just use any Rust libraries. For example, I wrote Rust<->Elixir bindings to xxhash and CANBus for our industrial control&

Can anyone elaborate on the binary pattern matching change? Listed as this in the blog post, but I don't see it in the release notes: ```improved binary pattern matching by allowing prefix binary matches, such as <<^prefix::binar

Just to add an additional anecdote/perspective for other folks curious about the Erlang mention: the lack of client support in Erlang/Elixir is real, unfortunately. Just an artifact of it being a smaller ecosystem, but it's i

Very cool. I love seeing stuff like this: simple things that illustrate how easy it is to get going with concurrent programming in Elixir/Erlang.

This looks great, but I'm not so keen on getting into Java at this point. Has anyone taken this, and if so would it be feasible for someone from a Ruby/Python background to grok what they're getting at?

So unless I'm missing something, this is more/less Jekyll with generalized capability and less blog-focus? Looks interesting.
