   I would say Go. I think when coding the only "decisions" to be made were whether to make things public or not, whether to use pointer receivers or not (even that wasn't usually a decision), and how to do error handling (no la

   I consider myself full-stack, specifically I call myself "a full-stack web-and-app developer" this is why: I've worked on everything from CSS to microcontrollers. For CSS/SCSS on the frontend (though I generally rely mor

   React is "just" a library, it doesn't give you everything you need to build out a full-stack or framework. For example, see Clojure's Luminus: https://luminusweb.com/ You have to dig down deep to find wh

    I'd say give it a shot. Vercel has a much more reasonable Free Tier, was insanely easy to use and incredibly fast. I had my changes pushed to prod from github in <10 secs I haven't built anything big on Vercel, but from my te

    My memory is fuzzy, but I think it depends on faction. For zerg, your drones can turn into bases and drones come from bases. Within a game, the "derivatives" start looping on themselves to keep the game balanced and interesting.

    ~~Simple~~ JavaScript is eating the world. ClojureScript compiles to JS. I'm convinced that Clojure will be the lisp-uber-language. EDIT: I shouldn't have said "simple"; nothing ever is. I was being arrogant.

    Oh The Foundation is such a beautiful read. Anytime I think about the longevity of our civilization, I think of it. I'm sure the creators of Horizonte Zero Dawn were inspired by it.
