> I'm thinking what is the missing piece here First, it's cool that you work on it. Creating a new language is not an easy task. I would suggest to try to stand on the shoulders of giants instead of trying to come up with a com

Yes it does. Apache ant did that... many many years ago. Creating a new language that looks like XML but is not XML is... kind of unforgivable. I'd go as far and call it amateur-like. We already have good configuration languages (such

Yeah. I judge the maturity by that. If there's only a javascript/node and python sdk, that means I'll stay far away from it for the time being.

Oh of course, I'm sure the kubernetes project tests that they trigger restarts correctly etc. But that doesn't cover the behavior of your app, the specific configuration you ask kubernetes to use and how the app uses its health en

Oh, thank you for the nostalgic reminder of that one. I read that a decade ago and found it hilarious.

In general, if you can move any kind of logic to a lower level, that's better. For example, testing that kubernetes restarts work correctly is tricky and requires a complicated setup. Testing that an erlang process/actor behaves a

There are a few stages, and each improves on the previous ones: 1. Detect crashes at runtime and by default stop/crash to prevent continuing with invalid program state 2. Detect crashes at runtime and handle them according to the busin

Now you are not comparing passwords with passkeys anymore, but MFA with passkeys. Not sure what the point is in the context of the discussion. > In that sense, I am not sure it is so different from passkeys? Yes, if it means "comp

Exactly! That is what I would like to have too and that is in fact how I currently use passkeys.

No, that's not what I meant. There are cases where bitwarden doesn't work but chrome for example does. Easy to Google up. For passwords however, I never heard of a case where a website only accepts passwords from a specific passwo

by valenterry 1y ago
I agree, but there is no guarantee that it will stay like that. In fact, there are many people who argue to completely get rid of passwords.

by valenterry 1y ago
Unfortunately just because it's possible with Bitwarden doesn't mean it is always possible.

by valenterry 1y ago
True. Still, the difference is that with passwords, no one can stop you from "exporting" it. With passkeys, it could be changed, and the power for that lies in the hands of only a few vendors. It's still a bit concerning if

No need to write like that. I know, understand and use passkeys for quite a while now. I don't love them. I don't love passwords either. But while I don't fear passwords, I fear passkeys. The reason is that it makes the tech

In real world you are not using either, you have way more way to optimize for a specific problem. For street networks you'd probably start with "A*" or something like that.

I'm on the practical side of things and have dabbled quite a bit with languages like Idris, I think we are mostly far from using them because of ergonomics. Even in Scala (which is a very advanced language, but still far behind Idris)
