The problem is that error handling is far more complex than you think at first. The idea that "the happy path is the most common" is a total lie. a + b CAN fail. But HOW that is the question! So, errors are everywhere. An

And for small teams, what we want/need is the "all deps" mono-repo. I wanna link other repos I depend on, but that repos can be read-only. And then all the tools work without extra friction P.D: This could be another wish for

It will not happened. The problem is that people believe theirs app will be web-scale pretty-soon so need to solve the problem ASAP. Is only after being burned many many times that arise the need for simplicity. Is the same of NoSql. Only

Sure. Data is not static. But is foolish to pretend is. Adding surrogate keys not changed that, only add other column that COULD change.

If you can live without much of the ecosystem (specially if has async) there is way to write rust very simple. The core of Rust is actually very simple: Struct, Enum, Functions, Traits.

This can be summarized in a simple way: UI is totally, another world. There is not chance for any language, not matter how good is it, to match the most horrendous (web!) but full-featured ui toolkit. I bet, 1000%, that is easier to do a OS

One small hitch I found is that this kind of tools are fixes in what to process, so for example I can't use them for structured logging. If it has an escape hatch where I can supply my own pipe (for example `process = 'vector ....

Hard agree. Is retrospect I think the model of Delphi, where you must assemble `manually` a `pkg` so you can export to the world should have been used instead. It also have solved the problem where you ended doing a lot of `public` not beca

Correct. Also, because I output all the formatting and do the processing/filtering/joining on the server, a lot of data is removed before get into the client. This is the most beneficial thing related to perf. I don't yet r

Yes. And the keyword here `database` not need to mean the typical one. In fact, most tools (like git) are databases over the code. IDE, parsers, etc. POOR ONES, and probably in the way of 'any program is a poorly implemented half of l
