I am probably wrong but it sounds your problems were mostly with Cloudformation. But I think there are options for the provision, you could use the cli or you could use third party tools like terraform. I haven’t tried it but maybe Fargate

That's a bit of an oversimplification. I would argue that anonymous functions, first-order functions, lambdas, macros that modify ASTs are not syntactic sugar but features of a language that contribute with the expression power.

Honest question. I have been checking Kotlin since a while but haven't found a compelling case for me to start using it. All the features I have seen so far are syntactic sugar. Even the article quote something around those lines: “The

Would the assembler maintain the same binary size and the exactly the same address module in the same order just like the article claims? What they said is they found evidence that the binary was modified manually. This is way more tedious

It is indeed a lost art. I can count with just one hand the amount of colleagues that I know that are capable of doing this. Also this is not assembly, it is object code.

True (and I didn't downvote by the way), but a "memory safe" language might not be as helpful as people might think. Most of memory managed languages still rely on native libraries to perform image processing, if at the end y

Off topic: The response of dragontamer is one example about why down votes alone are not enough. It was downvoted to the dead level and now nobody can reply to it. But also nobody gave the reason why what he was saying is incorrect.

Concurrent writes is a problem since the locking is at database level[1]. For a small to medium-low website might be OK depending on the writes volume. [1] https://www.sqlite.org/lockingv3.html

"I thought this all was pretty obvious" I don't know... it doesn't look like fake accusations to me. It was more like things that were there and US used for an entirely political reason, but the claim still seemed legit.

If I am not mistaken, you will need to know the signature of the function. Even if you use void* you would need to know the amount of parameters that the function uses.

That would be a valid argument except that it implied one port less since you have to use one of the already scarce ports to charge. People like me were waiting for an extra port and got one less

Not the single dimension but an important one. Any real time application processing events data (IoT, heartbeats, prices logs) would have a similar requirement. That's one reason why people uses queues, to try to workaround this. And a

Thanks... I came here to say this, and I actually said something similar yesterday and my comment got downvoted (which I couldn't care less), but to me the conclusion is, check your requirements and use the proper tool.
