Well, work with several task is THE thing with Go, right? If it were too much worse Go will fail. In situations like this, is important to remember that Rust/Zig are (system)languages to MAKE "Go" but also, million other diff

You can pack binaries yourself, but can't use PG as a library like with Sqlite or Firebird.

Well I wish I could embed it as sqlite, but that is like me dreaming too big!

Well, nearly nobody have experience with a REAL good shell. Is like using C all your life and don't have experience what a truly good language is. I work in FoxPro DOS back in the days. That is another dimension. Was close to jupyter +

I see it more like an aspirational goal . But one where everyone understand that is at most about start new projects that wholesome replace them (or "replace" is for create alternatives, not for truly rewrite the old ones). And I

I get stuck in a weird bug on certain Customer machine that suddenly start failing, so I replace the http client library to one that use rustls and gone. A few hours of work and also the CI benefit! P.D: Other software also fail the same, b

Ok, so how you do it or what can be used as counter-example?

Yeah, the other side of the coin is idioms (like things that people understand as "pythonic" or idiomatic). Certain idioms not make much sense at first , but a big part of be on Rust is learn them. Eventually, most of it make sen

The kind most ones focus? (multi-node, cloud-scalable) are fairly niche. I live in the enterprise sector where you can get many rdbms living alonside (+ cloud) and I know for a fact "scalability" is close to zero in the list of ac

I just wanna say why is this in Rust: Rust is a system language . For example, one shock is that you can't print! or dbg! anything (without adding Debug/Display to each type). The reasons? Where it will print in a Airpod? yeah: R

The syntax is ugly and can become overcrowded, but is in the HIGH side of readable. Compare: def read(path): What is path? Unknow. What it read? Unknow. What it return? Unknow pub fn read<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P)

Too much focus in the "scalability" that only matter for a very narrow niche and lateral to the DB engine, so I instead focus in real progress/improvements for RDBMS (one of my dreams is doing this): - Algebraic data types, r

Other tips: - Change the field type from JSON to JSONB (better storage and the rest) https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/datatype-json.html -Learn the json in-build functions and see if one of them can replace one

Firebird is also close. With the extra capabilities that can run as server (and that is only a setup concern: the code stay same). Also, it support more stuff (like stored procedures!) that I miss a lot on sqlite. My only complain with fire

But is like with json: We are not debating about that details because is a bit more well defined. For a improved CSV, that minutae must be defined from the start, but also must take in account how is CSV used, and keep it spirit. P.D: A exa

"structured programming" is not the use of flow-control but a way to design programs. Even if most language have structured flow-control, a lot of people NOT do structured programming. This is how I remember it back in the day and

Also "High coupling between components" is, a lot of times, GOOD. The more everything in the pipeline know about each other, the easiest is to code it and the FASTEST will be. You can say any performance gains is possible when you

I use F# before Rust, and find it much more approachable than Haskell. Somehow Haskell look pretty interesting (when I read long ago http://learnyouahaskell.com yet unable to figure how use it, when with F# was almost immediate.

Yeah, I imagine something like that so I could work on my lang/db engine ( https://tablam.org ). But then, I wake up!. So moving a bit here and there and hope to find a small numbers of non-millonaires... hard, but possible?
