I get to use Go at my day job and have had great success with it considering it has a great ecosystem of third-party packages. It's nice to have graceful shutdown, middleware chaining, and request contexts in tandem with easy concurren

What I would be interested in is how these companies use Rust in their stack and what kind of problems they can solve. I suppose not every company can divulge this information but it would be awesome to know where Rust fits in for them.

I have been following Rust's push into server-side development and can tell it is still green. There is a great foundation with the hyper library but quite a bit of fragmentation with frameworks and the async side of things. It will be

In the first section "Returning values", you need a lifetime specifier like in this example: [1]. Thanks for sharing though, it's well written. [1]: https://is.gd/6azJ2J

I know they mentioned their SYN flood tool but I recently saw a similar project from a hosting provider and thought it was neat [1]. It seems like everyone wants their own solution to this when it is a very common and non-trivial problem. [

I moved into an apartment last year and soon found out that AT&T was the only provider. This was quite disappointing to me as there are faster options for the same price. I wish this was illegal.

This is quite dated considering it says "v1.0, 27 April 2012". It also is for Go version 1 which explains why some of the packages are no longer available.

I was going to suggest using their new block storage but I read the docs some more: > A volume may only be attached to one Droplet at a time. However, up to five volumes can be attached to a single Droplet. Looks like you would have to r

> Patterns, principles, idioms, libraries, language features—these are all tools. But a truly proficient programmer fits the tool to the job, not the other way around. This isn't a unique statement but many people forget it. We all

I signed up for LastPass a few months ago because I got tired of keeping track of credentials for so many accounts. For $12 a year it is nice to sync across devices and be able to have peace of mind. Also they have a command-line tool that

Yes, here is a quote from the post: > Those of you familiar with the Elm style may recognize that the updated --explain messages draw heavy inspiration from the Elm approach.

This is the quote that stood out to me most too. It's quite appalling to me that this is "normal" for the guy. I can't help but feel like our perception of others has been molded too much by things we see instead of the

My favorite part about this survey is that for many of the questions there is a majority agreement. Many developers believe that tooling needs to improve or that crates should work with stable features. I think this is great for the Rust te

I'm impressed that MIO is getting funding. It will be great to have a safe library to create event-driven apps in Rust.

I didn't mean to gloss over the go routine problems. You're absolutely correct, when there exist tools like the race detector it makes it evident that you can write incorrect concurrent programs. Becoming proficient at using the c

> Clarity is critical. When you need to write high performance code this is a great maxim. I enjoy the simplicity of Go and the guarantees it provides. Being able to reason about code and not having to guess is a win for any development

I frustratingly pay the same amount while other ISPs in southern California offer 300 Mb/s for the same price. My apartment isn't wired for anything else though which is a bummer.

I will have to say Rust has got me the most excited. But Kotlin and Elixir are also interesting in their design approaches.
