Do you mean this one: https://node-postgres.com/features/native ? I don't know much about the node ecosystem to judge how many use this instead of libpq bindings, but judging by the number of features mentioned in

Probably, but you'd have to reimplement a lot of things you get for free out of libpq (prepared statements, pooler support, other things I'm forgetting about). But fwiw, there's already this: https://github.com&#x2

That's true, but I think that it is due to a few factors: JNI is considered a big penalty in the java, and treated as a "last resort" (libvips is an example); go community has been advocating against C bindings since the runt

This article outlines well the paradox that JITs require to be truly more efficient: if more of the target language is available to optimize, it'll get waaay more optimized, compared to dropping down to the layer below and try to hand-

So, no support for plugins. What's the upside then, considering that building static jekyll pages is a solved problem, even if it takes 500ms instead of 90ms?

Thea answer to your prayers already exists: http://sequel.jeremyevans.net/ . By far the best database toolkit (ORM, query builder, migration engine) I have seen for any programming language.

Ruby sequel ( http://sequel.jeremyevans.net/ ) is the only library where you can combine classic ORM Model bases usage, with a more raw query builder "just get me all the data into plain objects". You'll never

I don't understand what's the point of this. So there is an answer that doesn't answer the question in SO, and we glorify because it... is confirmation that yes, it's bad? OpenID is a specific layer on top of OAuth2. It

I was mentioning mostly debugging XP. And even if my comment applies to other facets of elixir, it does not describe it as a whole. That being said, I don't find it easier to debug than ruby, IME.

by chucke 3y ago
Elixir's most popular debugger tool is called pry.

by chucke 3y ago
Side effects free is a good thing? Sure. Easier to debug? Cmon, elixir MO is based on, if not copied from, ruby. If anything, elixir is as easy to debug as ruby, if you can claim such a thing (I don't have substantial XP)

If you want a db tool which can be an ORM for your app, and drop down to a lower level dsl, while targeting specific features of the databases it supports, + having a "composable superset for building queries", there's [ruby

Thx for the FUD salt. Rails never left, and neither did sinatra. In fact, other frameworks came to play, like roda. Ruby is ok. Sure, jekyll is no longer the new hotness, but I don't see a market shift towards a single tool. There&#x27

It's actually funny to see mentioned again, just like recently in a linus torvalds interview about git, how the "ruby people" contributed yet again to the massive popularity surge of an otherwise unrelated piece of software.

Workflow engines are neither simple, nor they are widely available for all programming languages.

> You don't have to use all of the features Rails provides. You kind of do. First, you have to opt-out, not opt-in. And the opt-out path is less battle-tested, so there's a lot of skeletons to be found there. Use it at your own

Roda is not a full blown framework. The footprint of rodauth overall is quite low, when compared. Couple that with the fact that you get 2 factors, sms, otp, webauthn, json mode, argon2, along with json mode + an array of security and usabi

Devise has not aged well. It's quite complex for the functionality it offers. Does not support json api mode. Only supports email/password. It's account creation flow is too simplistic for what most apps require OOTB.

Roda is as lightweight as it gets, when it comes to ruby web routers. If you're worried about heavy dependencies, you should probably look into rails first.

If you want to use an authentication solution which will not make you want to roll your own and highly configurable, use rodauth: http://rodauth.jeremyevans.net/

I think you're spot on. Ruby actually gained wider appeal only when it gained visibility in the US (via rails). Being present in the markets which drive adoption matters more than being consistent, which python isn't ("one wa

Definitely not performance, QUERY is an improvement/hackfix. Browsers have a cap on size of the request headline path (used to be very small for IE7), and server software also tend to cap the size of it, as a security mitigation (smth

That statement does not make justice to the time Pelé played in. Pelé came of age at a time where the best brazilian players played in Brazil. Some of those legends he played alongside in the selecção, from Garrincha, Amarildo, Vavá, Djalma
