Redis and Envoy also have the same. It seems to be the scripting lingua franca for interacting with native code.

I’m still amazed by how much faster transpiling from Reason is compared to TypeScript or JavaScript is via Babel.

C# does this server side too, async isn’t particular fun but threading doesn’t make it any worse when the runtime handles it imo.

The world's rapidly improving if that's true.

OTOH I don’t care about instances and load balancers at all(ideally), I just care about services.

That’s a real shame. Everything about the go runtime is great, which is in complete contrast to the language itself imo.

No it’s Googles take on container/compute task scheduling, deciding when and on which machines a task (e.g a docker container) should run. Docker Swarm is Dockers offering in the same category as Kubernetes. Edit: Though Google could b

.NET is another example of value types in a garbage collected language. It’s also somewhat unique afaik in doing so within a VM.

Yes this is a strategic move on googles part, but that doesn’t make it any less valuable to consumers. Getting less lock in and more choice is good for everyone (except AWS)

“Recall that the original motivation for separating each destination codebase into its own repo was to isolate test failures. However, it turned out this was a false advantage. ” At least they finally got to the right conclusion, they were

The problem of middleware, other than needing a library per language, is that it moves the concern into the app rather than the host. I see a service mesh more as extending the network functionality of the host OS and cluster than the app,

One of the biggest draws of Linkerd over Envoy (prior to Consul Connect at least) was that it seemed more feasible to use outside of Kubernetes. Conduit however is tightly coupled to Kubernetes as I understand, which isn’t really addressed

How do schema upgrades work? It looks like a specific actor type is tied to a specific schema but I assume the schema upgrades must be eventually consistent unless they are using 2 phase commit across all actors of the type?

You are correct, the sentence implies that it is the zero cost abstractions that makes it possible which is not right. The zero cost abstractions part is a nice benefit, but unrelated to ensuring safety.

Dart has a VM (with hot reloading) for dev time and an AOT compiler for release builds. I’d say that’s one of the most attractive things about Dart to compensate for yet another language.

As part of Google Summer of Code a participant is looking at porting .net core to FreeBSD https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/18067

I’ve been wondering whether this approach would be viable for a while now. Are there any systems that do this? I know solo’s Gloo reverses the flow using NATS but that’s all I’ve seen use this approach.

Why would they want to embrace, extend and extinguish Linux when nowadays the competition is no longer Linux but AWS, Google etc?

It depends on the use case. eg if you have multiple web servers and a lot to keep cached then it’s more economical to have one machine with a lot of memory than each web server. Another would be keeping the cache consistent, a single instan

In addition to the other good answers, there’s also the difference that for maps there are actually alternatives. E.g many people use Apple maps just because it is there by default on IOS.

I don’t see what’s wrong with using a scripting language to extend a data store. Regardless, Redis now has modules so that you can implement these extensions in native code instead of/as well as Lua. In fact it seems the author of the

There’s a reason people refer to it as “ramping up”, as you become familiar with the environment and code base you become more and more productive until more or less plateauing a while later. It’s not really useful to categorise it as binar

I agree that the .NET runtime seems under invested in and the lateness to the portability game is damaging. It would also be nice to see more experimentation, e.g as you mention Graal, Truffle, Substrate VM and Project Metropolis all look a

I find it interesting that I’ve never been bothered by these issues but the one I have isn’t mentioned. Difficulty in ensuring ordering, it seems like any time I consider a queue the lack of ordering guarantees forces significant complexity

I noticed the atom team are trying something similar with an experiment called X-ray https://github.com/atom/xray It will be nice if this becomes a thing, I think it’s more likely that electron apps become significantl

I would say java and c# have both failed on your second point, separate to their respective VMs issues. It would be nice if mistakes like that were deprecated then eventually fixed, even if over many years/versions.

Good read. The model validation is a great idea. Interestingly it will be done automatically in asp net core 2.1 for controllers marked with the new 'ApiControllerAttribute'. One pet peeve is the unnecessary usage of 'IHttpCo

That doesn't seem to be supported by the article? "While it outperforms TCP in a wide range of scenarios, we found that it underperforms in the presence of packet reordering and on resource-constrained mobile devices."

I would love to see more of a road map on where this project is going. It's exciting, but not clear where it's heading.
