There are COBOL devs who actually realize what they are worth and billing (banks) 200-300k accordingly.

I am building a generic, open-source system (really just a set of light standards) to bind a message queue to a set of request/reply and pub/sub microservices. To start: I'd like to have seamless R/R via stateless HTTP a

Unsafe is not something that needs to be avoided. Small, widely-verified blocks of unsafe code should be the norm if unsafe code is necessary. This does not mean "if you're using unsafe you've failed!"

My only problem is with 3. If you're already at the point where you are utilizing compilation, why not implement a compiler-level async/await solution (probably based off of a loop + a state machine, a la regenerator).

Really? How do you suppose nginx does it? Or any of the other top-end (in requests/sec) webservers? Hint: they aren't utilizing green threading and/or a scheduler.

> Automagic TLS done right is an improvement from no TLS, IMHO, even if it comes with its own new set of potential attack vectors. Is it really? Does it not potentially provide a false sense of security?

Are you unable to throw any number of the faster, event-driven webservers/reverse proxies in front of Python 2.7 to satisfy your SNI needs?

How about an Amazon-managed Docker (not shit ElasticBeanstalk) infrastructure/config management system? If they handled things like EBS integration, orchestration, ELB integration, and all of the usual stuff, I'd be sold in a seco

I'd really like to write a similar, mongo-compatible layer for FoundationDB. This is great work.

Why not FoundationDB?

Ah yes, just what I want to trust my life to: potentially failing technology.

Any possibility of a Terminal.app version with SIMBL?

You could try FoundationDB, with or without the SQL layer.

That's exactly what they require. mio is one such example, I am working on another implementation.

I wonder if asm.js + the sqlite3 driver + localstorage would suffice.. it would certainly be interesting.

To be fair: 1600 lines is relatively small. You could probably proof it from anything but business-level error.

I personally like the idea of building a machine that terminates TOR (exclusively) into VMs, allowing no other outbound (non-whitelisted) traffic. The biggest and most obvious threat to a lot of these hidden services are application-layer a
