I'm wildly confused by your comment, Dropwizard is 'all inclusive' but Spring is a micro-framework? Flask is both?

There is value to constant volume, but I think a lot of the loudness war came from a time when there implementing a compressor on the user's side was expensive. It's trivially cheap now, basically every device you own that can pro

You're making a lot of assumptions that aren't terribly valid for most use cases. Not to say that strict consistency requirements don't exist, they certainly do, but they are the exception rather than the norm. A one person s

Kafka's primary use case is as an intermediary for a stream processing system. e.g. to ingest a firehouse of events, make them durable, then feed them to a number of different processors. More common use cases here: https://

Why would you use Kafka as a queue? It's not a great fit, I mean, you could make it work, but it's a similar square peg in round hole design choice as using a relational DB as a queue.

Depends on what you're adding. Running Redis is dead simple and easy to have visibility into. RabbitMQ / Kafka are much larger undertakings.

What I'm getting at is how it handles type safety at the browser API boundary. e.g. how does it handle a situation like: `eventTgt.addEventListener('whatever', fn, true)` vs `eventTgt.addEventListener('whatever', fn

How does Scala.js deal with inconsistent browser APIs and type safety? Does it just include all of core-js and hope for the best?

Could you clarify why you think this? I don't see any connection between this API and the types of standards OASIS works on.

That's largely due to 'failure bias'. You hear a lot more about failed rewrites than you do successful ones. I've been involved with a number of full rewrites over the years and all of them ended up greatly improving the

You're describing the EM field, not the electrons themselves. Actually the two are moving in opposite directions as well.
