This would be totally cool if it had an S-expression input syntax. (I mean, it's totally cool as it is, of course...)

There's people out there who chose PostgreSQL twenty five years ago and found out since to have made the right choice. Not sure if that can be said of any item on the list you were responding to.

Well, you did say "several millions", so that would be more like 2000 lines. And depending on the environment, I'm aware of many people who do much less (not of their own volition or choice), so I have little faith in a lon

Right. But that's their choice. I actually really like what Mithril.js did, regarding decisions on size, complexity, distribution as a single file, etc. Pretty much the only thing I'd like more would be if some similar library tar

Well, they added modules some time ago and now they're widely supported. Not quite sure what more there is to say about that. Aside from botched variable scoping, that was probably my biggest grip with JS (but `let` fixed scoping many

Then the codebase needs to fully (or as much as feasible) transition to the use of lexical bindings. It's not like we don't know if it will work; Common Lisp supports dynamic variables but you don't pay for them unless you ac

There's the mention of "sustained flight at mid-altitudes". Perhaps the intention is for this to be able to fly over land as well? Maybe by sacrificing some cargo capacity in mid-altitude flights?

You should look for it, but you'd need someone who's contagious at the right moment to participate in one of these events for such an explosion to happen. Given only a hundred cases or so in the world, such events do not seem to b

Technically Firebird just requires a block device, so you might not even need a filesystem.

I imagine that even just powering one receiver from many different transmitters would help you here, since only the receiver would be at the intersection of the numerous beams.

It sounds like something you might be able to accomplish with a copy-on-write VFS on top of a Firebird database file. (Not sure about PostgreSQL, but with Firebird, you only deal with one file, so with Firebird, this should definitely work.

That sounds like that should have started with "Don't code with Typescript on the server side at all" instead. If Typescript is pretending things unsuccessfully, you might as well stick with plain Javascript. (It wouldn'

One might not need tiles for personal uses, though. If you're not intent on scaling to the level of Google, a tile server seems almost like an overkill. And on some platforms, such as Windows, UMN MapServer is massively easier to insta

Deno, as someone mentioned. Also, Civetweb embeds Duktape. Also, txiki.js embeds QuickJS. So there's at least three other options with varying features. You should try Deno first, though.
