I think what happened to the popularity of .io domains could.. maybe.. be called a fad. I think that doesn't dig deep enough. It came on the scene and was popular with technical services and startups because it sounded techy and cool a

I'm trying to write a good short answer or TL/DR and don't think I can. If you want a pithy one, at 1000 concurrent users (with no other information given) the answer is your bottleneck probably won't be Python or Ruby.

No problem, you're not a buzz kill. I've thought the same thing. Building a blog engine isn't breaking new ground and I might as well add features to an existing engine, where I won't have to build everything from scratc

Masters of Doom is such a fun, good book. I ended up power reading a few summers ago. If you grew up playing Doom, and all the other shareware games like Hexen, Heretic, etc... reading about Id Software's start and history is more inte

From the comments below, it sounds like interfacing my C++ code with python using Cppyy would sacrifice performance. Even so this will be awesome for unit testing. I really like the testing interface pytest provides, along with its parametr

Thanks, it sounds like I should definitely use Flask (or maybe Django) vs one of the many SaaS providers of landing pages. I don't want to get locked into some service or platform that I can't change easily/quickly and I want

Using Python via IronPython and trying to get C# to talk to Python sounds like it could have lots of issues. I would go with a Python HTTP(S) API that gets called by the Winforms or WPF UI. This has the added benefit of forcing you into a m

If I understand your question, you're asking what is one thing currently missing from JS that if added would yield a large perf gain? I think the biggest one would be from types. The JS runtime engineers have improved perf a ton alread

Thanks, this kind of advice is what I was looking for. Sounds like I was overthinking calling the API, and I'll be using react-router for navigation.

It's possible I'm not writing Python in the best way, I've tried to embrace duck typing and trusting my call sources & targets. What I missed is the easy assurance from adding parameters to method calls, changing function

Agreed, I feel like I always add a ton of code to communicate with the DB/data storage system. If I go with Kotlin I think data classes will keep the number of lines of code down at the very least. For a side note about language influe

Same here, I've worked on projects without static typing and it's more painful without the safety of the compiler. Rust is also on my list. I do think that programming in Python got me comfortable with passing functions around and
