Looks like you’re blaming Postgres for Something that sounds like Sequelize’s fault. You should try prototyping parts of your application in a language that is better supported. Last I used Sequelize I was disappointed at how poorly it fare

I don't share the negative sentiments expressed by others in response to your question. I think things have changed significantly for the better. I'll leave you with these two images - you can decide for yourself if anything has c

Just FYI - India is not a homogenous society. It has 22 official languages, 29 states + 7 union territories, 9 officially recognized religions. So, no, there is no "Indian head wobble". What the fine article describes is a distinc

Could you cite an example of how Scala is unsuitable for the web? Between Scala and JavaScript, I would pick Scala in a heartbeat for one reason alone - it's strongly typed. Both of them offer OO & FP.
