If it's helpful, the government* considers it both of your money. If one of you racks up debts that money will go to pay for it. If you divorce, you'll split it. You two are a package deal, so all this pettiness isn't helping

Yeah, absolutely fair. That said, I think there's a movement away from local because: a) deployments are getting complex enough that it's hard to get dev environments locally b) it's cheaper and quicker to pay for cloud devel

Thanks! I understand the wariness - the idea is that Darklang is solving a particular problem, which is building cloud backends. I believe that adding in other constraints (common ones are local development, using existing languages, using

You're not wrong. The problem is the fancy stacks actually solve some stuff, but they bring their own disadvantages with them. No-one is denying that kubernetes is extremely powerful and you might need that in some use cases, but then

This is good advice. However bear in mind that the moment a term sheet arrives, the old 409A is invalid. So if the company is fundraising, make sure you get your options allocated immediately (even if that requires the board to have to sign

All of darklang's infra is source available, feel free to read it. This [1] is a good entry point for the infra configuration and setup. [1] https://github.com/darklang/dark/#production-services

Monorepos are also great for small monorepos with just a few projects. The darklang monorepo [1] has a devcontainer that installs all the build tools for 4 projects which create 21 different services, using 6 languages, and building everyth

In addition, the O(logN) only comes into play if you are truly accessing only one item. If you're accessing more you are either reading the whole list (O(N) in total, O(1) per item), or a sublist (in which case it's O(logN) once t

I've been coding in functional languages for 10 years, and they have problems, but these are not them. The first problem is solved in every functional language I've used (clojure, F#, OCaml) by immutable data structures (aka purel

We actually need "Just Code" tooling. The No Code movements shines a light on how bad we let things become for programmers (and aspiring ones). Building a modern full-stack website these days involves a lot of knowledge, everythin

I don't know what this is about. There's binaries to install, packages for debian, pre-built containers, everything. I've been doing .Net for about 18 months, entirely on Mac and Linux, and everything just works.

This is what https://darklang is intended to be. I think in fairness it's not there yet (and it's also a service, so not what you want), but it's certainly fully integrated and doesn't need DBs, external SaaS

TIL! Seems to be a quite confused topic as many things (it seems for example some java servers) even require it, but you do seem to be right, as JSON must always be utf8.

by pbiggar 5y ago
This is great. When a new user uses Darklang, we want them to be able to make JSON API requests quickly and easily, and there aren't great client-side tools for that that you can expect users to have installed. giving them a big long c

With Darklang we're trying to break up the "file" concept of code and organize the code as you think about the architecture (think about the diagram you would draw if you were to whiteboard the architecture to a new coder on

We tried doing this with darklang. It ended up not actually working that well (it took a lot of effort to have even a few shared types), and it didn't get us very much either.

In theory this is correct, but in practice Reason(ML) is dead. Or it was the last time I checked a month or two ago. ReScript lives on though.

by pbiggar 5y ago
It's because Reason and Bucklescript were two separate projects with two separate goals. The goals of Reason was to be multi-platform, which was causing lots of technical challenges for rescript, which didn't care about that need
