That's FUD, citus doesn't "drop half of sql". Anything that can be resolved to a single node works exactly like normal postgres, and the main multinode things you want (e.g. aggregations) work transparently. The actual

It's not a queue. Some people may use it for cases that resemble a messaging queue, but it definitely is not, and many valid use cases for Kafka would be completely impossible with a traditional message queue or Redis. How about actua

Kafka is not a queue, it's a circular buffer. Comparing Redis and Kafka is like comparing chalk and cheese.

In over 10 years the most productive people I've worked with were able to learn Scala and ship code in Scala quickly, without worrying about whether they would rather be programming Haskell.

So basically everything except horizontal scaling? Seems like a pretty big difference...

This is straight up false, why do you think Scala doesn't have primitive values? Long will be either a value or reference type as needed, despite being spelled only one way instead of two different ways in java.

I've got well over a decade of experience, much of that as a team lead, and I still think everyone's code including my own needs review before deploy.

Citus ( https://github.com/citusdata/citus ) is pretty easy to use for distributed postgres.

Not only is java good enough, it's currently better than rust for networking applications. Hopefully tokio changes that, but it's not 100% there yet.

No, there's a huge difference in quality of programmers. I've led a team that was productive (by which I mean shipping code that met business goals) within weeks of starting with scala. I've been on other teams where some o

That has nothing to do with type erasure. Type aliases are not distinct from the underlying type, even at compile time. You needed value classes, not aliases. example: object Example { type IdA = Long type IdB = Long def

Copyright has nothing to do with this. You certainly can register bicycle as a trademark, bicycle brand playing cards, for instance.

I think the 'you have more to lose' advice is wrong. It's still a sellers market for technical talent. As long as you're getting paid reasonably and working on interesting things, you'll be fine after N months at

If you changed the license you'd have to do a clean room implementation, and even then deal with potential legal issues from the... personalities... associated with the GPL.

the same article you linked states that sofware is a major factor in lag, because a different app has ony a 2 frame latency.

Saying that Monad should be used instead of frameworks, because frameworks don't compose? Monads don't compose, and the workarounds are ugly and still a topic of active research.

Yup, Elm isn't actually hard to learn. Nor is Scala (I had a team of people productive with it in under 2 weeks, with no significant prior FP experience).

Are you trying to say that in the 30 years of time between the discovery of Lisp and the discovery of typeclasses, no one wrote reusable code?

Take two average JS programmers. Hand one of them the Elm docs, the other the Diode docs. What do you expect will happen?

No, the rdd interface has methods on it that directly relate to how data is processed.
