I recommend adding telemetry to your project for this (and I know a lot of people feel strongly about this, so I'll add: with a very easy way of disabling it). In OctoSQL[0] I'm literally just sending JSON files with coarse inform

Really nice blog post! Especially because it actually builds something that works in the end, while keeping stuff fairly simple. Another approach could be using PostgreSQL as a stateless scalable query execution engine, while stubbing out t

Hey, two main use cases: 1. Find a trace where there is a span of type A with tag `xyz: true`, that has a direct child span of type B with tag `abc: 42`, that has at least one non-direct child span of type C with tag `lmn: forty-two`. So ba

That's the point, it's not the same messages. Each error wrap has a situation-dependent wrapping message, different for each wrapped error in the function. Copilot is great at writing the whole `if err != nil`, including context-s

by cube2222 4y ago
Looks very nice! Have built something similar by forking the Datadog tracing library to also send each Span as a JSON to Kinesis Firehose, and then to S3. From there you can easily query it using AWS Glue (for schema inference) + Athena (as

I think we're talking about different kinds of code generation. I'm mostly talking about boilerplate like writing `if err != nil` with a nice wrapping message every other line. Copilot will just write 2-3 lines at a time. That&#x

by cube2222 4y ago
Fortunately, we now have Copilot to write it. I'm not kidding. Go is at a very nice verbosity level as far as reading code goes, but writing it is indeed tedious occasionally. However, in practice, Copilot is able to handle those bits

Frankly, having used Go for years, I started using generics right after they were released and I'm very happy with them so far. Sure, the performance characteristics could be improved, but other than that they solve all my main pain po

by cube2222 4y ago
If I understood the implementation correctly, as long as you use value types instead of pointer/interface types for your generic type parameters, you'll basically get monomorphization.

Just a caveat, not sure if it matters in practice, but this benchmark is using very old versions of many languages it's comparing (5 year old ones).

Not that it's a great solution, but there's https://github.com/BurntSushi/go-sumtype for (2).

Mandatory plug of this article[0] describing how to use the Zig language toolchain to get easy cross-compilation with CGO. It's really cool because cross-compilation is, imo, the most painful part of CGO - right after being incompatibl

Moreover, you can pair it with drift detection (available in i.e. Spacelift[0]), and have it automatically detect when a data source changes (and apply the resulting infra changes). Very common scenario with lots of neat use cases around it

Hey, OctoSQL[0] author here. This is an updated benchmark originally posted a week ago[1] and is a bit of an update to the assertion made at that time. It now includes clickhouse-local, which is very very fast, as well as a new release of O

I've just released OctoSQL v0.6.0 which fixes the issue and adds eagerly printed CSV and JSON output, as well as a non-buffered LIMIT implementation. It's now just slightly slower in the benchmark than SPyQL. Thanks for the motiva

by cube2222 5y ago
No worries! I think it'll be most fair if I just let you know when these are fixed, and you can properly use them, performantly, with a sane output option (that's not stream native, but something like JSON). I.e. LIMIT won't
