   Exactly, once you wrap errors with their context, or just at the lowest level wrap it with a stack trace, they become much more useful.

   I actually experimented with a "database" of sorts, a redis compatible server with replication, persistence and an extendable API. It was okay as a toy project but never came close to redis performance, even when it only did ping&

   yes, and they are heavily used under the hood in the standard library, for things like http connection pooling.

   Another thing I can think of - Go's interface mechanism overhead is usually significant, and I've also found that the networking stack is slow compared to raw C. When I brought this up on the user group a few years ago I was told

   I don't know specifically why that is for this specific project, but in general Go has GC and bounds checking that slow things down.

   These days you have http requests with context (I think starting from Go 1.8), see https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Request.Context

   hey, I wrote that little script years ago, glad to hear someone (besides me) is still using it! :)

    I've worked with both, and let's agree that they are about equally hard to find, or more precisely hard to hire. To the untrained, though, above average coders and managers may appear great. But only once you've met an actual

    Looks like it doesn't, although it supports the cluster control API.

    Nice. Would you consider a mechanism for injecting the client with extra commands for redis modules? As far as I can tell it's possible to run generic commands with the client, but it would be a nice touch to add more commands to it.

    Those were the main ones I worked with, plus another commercial package, I forgot its name, which was decent. The Calf compressor and bass enhancer were very good. I'm seeing that a lot of plugins have been added in the time since I la

    I've used it for recording music, combining some MIDI tracks with many audio tracks and samples. Once the audio system was set up and stable, working with Ardour was a pleasure and results were very good. The main problem was getting h

    Ardour is one of my favorite open source projects, and it's especially admirable considering that it's not a developer and/or server admin tool. It's rare to see people hack away for years on open source desktop software

    Agreed. If you're a small start-up in a hurry and <4 devs, the best strategy would be to write top-down smoke tests on your API that will actually tell you when things break, even if not exactly where. Their actual derived coverage
