Flutter suffer, badly, to be tied to a specific lang. If it where an API directly usable by any lang, then it could fly further.

I also work on this space, and kind of see the value of this idea. Having a log store make sense, and having a super-VIEW replacement that can re-compute the data (so I can denormalize o build secondary tables/indexes that could or not

Naively thinking here, how about a 2 immutable b+tree setup: The "hot" tree is the WAL: All the data is there and copies are generated. The "cold" tree is behind: In the background move from WAL and at the same time comp

> So why does Austral use linear types, not affine types? Because linear types are simpler. The major reason here is that you don't need a "fancy" inference engine of lifetimes like the Rust borrow checker.

Oh, cool. I made my own attempt at the same kind of idea at https://elmalabarista.com/blog/2022-flat-tree/ . Is pretty simple actually. What I have observed (and my tree exploit) is that most tree are "too muc

A particularly well-suited project is to make a (mech) keyboard. It is good because the basics are simple, and you can "complicate" it in any dimension: - Weird shape? Check - Add a trackball? Check - Crazy layout? Check - Add a m

Yeah, I worked on https://tablam.org and https://spacetimedb.com . It becomes pretty clear that `order` is a significant property to make useful (and performant!) programs. "Duplicates" is also required

Is the same as "C++" and "OOP". An "SQL database" is an implementation of a "partial" and inconsistent version of the relational model. So is not wrong, IMHO, to say "SQL databases" to be

This in fact shows one of the artificial limitations of SQL (and not of the relational model): It does not have a `GROUP BY` functionality! What `sql` calls `GROUP BY` is `SUMMARIZE`.

I have nothing super finished, this is for fun (until I get time or funding!). But I bet is far more reusable than normal code in most cases. The reason is that the relational/array model has more values: https://www.infoq.c

This is moe interesting than it looks, probably because the best part (IMHO) is about the type system, that is what enables the other ideas. > In Julia, types are first-class and every value has a type This is what I do from the start in

Not only that, doing localization/parsing on server side is easier and is more secure.

My relational lang ( https://tablam.org ) that I wish to be a Excel + Access replacement is still half-backed. I move it slowly in my personal computer but not much in public. Maybe adding another person will help me on that!
