Thank you so much for your work! Unfortunately the project is so often dragged in mud by some loud minority, but I absolutely love it and use it every day, and I’m sure we are more numerous than the other group.

Rendering a bunch of vertices in 3D is an “embarrassingly parallel” problem, you can scale it pretty much forever. With all due respect, if you compare that to 2D layouting and stuff, you don’t know much about the topic.

Not an article, but a good “measuring stick” might be the binary trees benchmark: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... This one stresses the GC quite a bit (so it doesn’t make much sense for

Go’s error handling is definitely not better than exceptions, not even close. It is just “errno” from C with bad syntax sugar. Exceptions don’t disappear randomly (no, an ‘if err’ is not error handling, and repetition just makes it prone to

That’s the same question as why JS is consistently much slower than Rust. They are not at all similar languages, there is absolutely zero reason to expect otherwise. Go is a managed language with a GC that will slow down threads at high all

Especially that it must be fun hunting down race conditions across microservices. Like, microservices throw away every benefit of a single code base in a single language (and its guarantees). They sometimes make sense, but arguably that som

Why do we need "scale"? The 2nd cheapest Hetzner offering can probably serve a hundred thousand people a basic CRUD app just fine, with the DB running on the same machine. And you can just buy a slightly more expensive machine if

For an actual implementation of these ideas (in a non-db context), you might want to take a look at GraalVM's Truffle part, or PyPy.
