Go. Lower your pitchforks and hear me out: 1. Sensible defaults, can go very with just the stdlib: no choice paralysis between frameworks, mental overhead of setting up a project or ecosystem fragments to pick from. Just start with a main.g

Maybe it's that brain worm that I got from staring at too much assembly, but I actually find that part of the Intel manuals to be quite approachable. Even to get a general overview, the introduction section I linked seems fine?

Yeah, Python is basically slowly becoming a TypeScript. On one one hand: yay types. On the other hand… yeah, this isn’t Python anymore. What used to be a fairly simple language with some well known quirks evolved into an ungrokable katamari

You don’t :). To do it properly you want a maglev-style layer that allows for withdrawals/drains of application servers with minimal disruption thanks to a minimum disruption maglev-style hash and draining support. This will allow you

You'd be adding a whole new layer of what would effectively be dynamic routing. It's doable, but it's not a trivial amount of effort. Especially if you want everything to be transparent and automagic. There's earlier pro

I don't think of it as an infra problem, but as an early manifestation of effort that would arise later on, anyway: long-term maintenance of that new language. You need people who know the language to integrate it well with the rest of

In a large orga, you limit the languages available for projects to well supported ones internally, ie. to those that are known to have a port of the RPC/metrics/status/discovery library. Also makes it easier to have everythin

It is the technically better solution IMO/IME, too. But that doesn't work when you're trying to sell enterprises the idea of 'just move your workloads to Kubernetes!'. :)

This is a typical anti-bot Google infra CAPTCHA. Happens if you suddenly fire off many requests, well known to anyone who ever attempted to scrape Google or even did a very quick burst of searches while trying to solve a problem.

Right, and because your dependencies don't shell out to some random tools during a go build it makes your build system less likely to break and makes your job easier. You have guarantees that unless you run a `go generate` no third-par
