I have two completely different takes on this. On one hand, if a business generating almost $500M in revenue per year[1] is doing something illegal, it shouldn't be allowed to operate. Simple as that. If it is allowed to operate, then

When you are building a SaaS product that only runs on your servers, you can use whatever you want. But when you are building an OSS product, there are a couple of more things to consider: those who will run it, and those who will contribut

To put it into a little context: ToolJet seems to be the leading open-source alternative to Retool, which has recently raised money at $3.2B valuation[1]. Moreover, according to the founder, Retool hasn't even needed any VC money for a

Yes, these are two different meanings of "stable". In Clojure, "stable" means that your code remains working after the upgrades of its dependencies. In Python, "stable" means that the dependencies themselves re

What I meant, is frameworks like Django, Flask, and PyTorch. Also, libraries like Pandas, SciPy, and NumPy. That's what Clojure is missing the most for an average software engineer: simple and easy choices, that can remain relevant for
