This is like economic growth: First bad, then upwards trajectory, then now in free-fall You are describing it: Things in programing were bad, then suddenly all in the upside UNTIL it start to coming down. Is not a refute of the problem. Is

A good counterpoint is that a lot of information about this is dense, cryptic, weird, confusing and hard to get. The major problem is not to find the sophisticated things, but understand how do it in simple-ish ways. Do otherwise is a m

The problem here is that for a service "fail fast" is mostly the best default.

Maybe combine it with learning that language you wish to?

No, the problem is that the proposal is not enough *bold*. A "barely better" version of something entrenched rarely win (maybe only if the old thing not get updaters). This is the curse of OpenOffice < MS Office. This is in fac

The problem is the deps: You can have Rust with no nulls, but the OS was made by it. You can have a RDBMS with ACID, but the file system is liar. Then, you can make a product that was applied engineering, but you can't replace all the

Yes, SQL is poor. What could be good is relational + array model. I have some ideas on https://tablam.org , and building not just the language but the optimizer in tandem I think will be very nice.

If you are more like "parallel" than "async" totally yes! here "parallel" is used in the most broad sense where you have (probably unrelated) tasks that are mostly independent for each other and run to completi

You can decompose in 2 problems, because well is better, but is in fact one. Can be argued that is only this single problem: How, in ACID way, store data that will be efficiently look it up later by a unknown number of clients and unknown a

There was FoxPro too that was amazing and in some ways better than Delphi, in special for the integrate "command window" and the ability to show "widgets" at will (like BROWSE)

What could be better is to allow to create a type with custom display, in/out and internally set the native type IN SQL (this require to do it in c)

Well if that is what you call good from ORM (I agree Delphi for GUI, the others not so much). A truly good one? FoxPro. Is very hard to know if you don't have exposure to what should be.

A LOT of websites don't need a "front end" framework (apart of the one that is already there: html, css). Could need some js library and that is a maybe. In general: If is like a eCommerce site, blog, wikipedia, forum?

But is optional . For this kind of project, is logical to adopt something like the tiger battle ethos and own all the code and have no external deps (or vendor them). Even do your own std if wanna. Is hard work? But is not that different

Question: For what else (apart from assembler) this could be a good idea? I think WASM, but could be for a custom byte code? and more importantly, for a set of host-native functions (like I make some rust functions that somehow exploit this
