Are we talking about Rust or async/await syntax in the abstract? Async/await syntax is needed if you want to have a `with` block that managed resources across co-routine boundaries. Consider Python's `async with` which will c

Depends where someone comes from. If they are from a weakly or dynamically typed language (C, python, Javascript) then Go is quite ok. If you're coming from Haskell, OCaml, or Rust, then sure Go might be frightening.

I agree with sibling: I think you're giving it an uncharitable interpretation. There is an open issue and they are investigating to improve the situation.

No I think the idea that we allowed monkeys to operate 2 tonnes of machinery after some unspecified amount of depressants will be looked back on as a wild time in history that no one wants to return to. Like "and they just started sell

There is an enormous and probably diverse online peanut gallery for Rust. I think the concern is more about the diversity of contributors - many of these people meet in person. So the dogs and purple with orange speckled snails will be foun

You have a good point that we can start a discussion around but I think you're being overly negative and falling for survivor bias. E.g. Does the success of Photoshop mean proprietary product management is superior? Or does the death o

'It's the platform, stupid.' The language is secondary to the platform. Having fast libraries is great. No one ever wishes that numpy was written in python. And switching from typescript to kotlin? That's changing platfo

Great idea. zfs can compress data on disk. But it's also useful to keep the data compressed in memory so you can fit more data in memory. There's a lot of cpu/memory tradeoffs so it's worth having the options to do it on

Are you using git inside Emacs or from the command line? It seems GP is doing everything in Emacs and application python resolution is tripping up with tooling python. If you have it all sorted out from Emacs maybe check the repo they poste

Ok then I think the issue is not so much pre-commit but that python tooling in general should not be written in python. It's a minority opinion but the fact that there is a tooling python and an application python can mess with things

Well I have different experiences where no one would ever go back to living without pre-commit, black, autoflake, etc. It moves the fixes to before they get to CI. There's literally no downside. Maybe you have experience with some weir

Filling the CI/CD pipeline with tiny commits to fix linting when it should be done before commit or push is why pre-commit exists. It's not BS, clogging the job queue shits in everyone else. Of course I don't know GPs specifi

Couchbase-lite seems to do what you're asking. It's backed onto sqlite. It's more sync based than crdt based afaict.
