Sorry i do not want to sound condescending. I was just explaining my own experience. The first time I wanted to learn Rust I failed because I gave up.

Rust is for people who stick around, can come over hurdles, can take in new concepts and see the overall benefits. It has a steep learning curve that pays off. For me there are three reasons why Rust is suitable for many usecases: - perfor

You can double license software and have a non-AGPL license for customers. AGPL is a must nowadays to avoid Amazon and other giant companies like it to "steal" your project and start offering the same thing initially (2-3) cheaper

Actually we chose not to use it after talked to the developers about some of their approaches at the time. They had weird views on GC and made it impossible to tune their stack to have lower latency. It was not really an option to operate E

I am not sure if I understand the definition of offline here. HTMX has graceful degradation options. What else could you do when the client is offline?

Not sure what is considered complex. I have a login flow and search interface implemented in HTMX and Rust. Polishing the last few rough edges and when it is done I a writing a detailed article about it.

Yes. We use it to have a backup communication channel when all other networks are down. This is an extremely unlikely scenario. If that happens wireless communication is going to be the least of the problems.

I think your comment is based on something that LoRa is not. > building a wireless village/town scale IP network This was never its goal. You can build a simple messaging network for text that has a pretty good range and low bandwid

> to compile a static binary Cargo is one of the main reasons to use Rust of C++. I am pretty sure there is more involved with C++ than this: rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux

When a comment on HN has more merit than the article. The only problem with postgres is that inserting has some interesting scaling problems. Putting a queue between the event sources and the db is usually recommended.

Better yet, we need a new model of running computer programs. I think the good old running a python file through an interpreter that has at least read-only access to ~/ is not cutting it anymore. This is why Apple's additional acc

Spicy take on engineering. Why do we accept this for software when do not accept the same in other engineering domains?
