I don't like callback hell http servers in java since now you have to go chase async libraries for everything.

Why is alpine so popular for VMs/containers when popular runtimes like the JVM or nodejs don't officially support musl?

That's like saying that C++ is a better backend platform than the JVM due to better performance. For 95% of business web apps out there it doesn't matter, I mean, multiple business with evaluations in the billions of dollars have

Besides being fun for sure because you can use whatever you want for your own stuff I don't see what's special about clojure here. They are using react (behind a wrapper), IME, clourescript is not worth the hassle. On the server t

They are talking specifically about the built-in incremental compiler of the Eclipse IDE, not the whole IDE experience.

For a single person team it is bad because now they have to depend on their memory and shell history. There is this thing called shell scripts.

It's also very nice that the postresql project maintains a high quality JDBC driver https://jdbc.postgresql.org/ Working with pg in nodejs was frustrating in comparison.

Is Timescale suited for keeping the history of the data and then query against any point in time?

Didn't explain myself well, meant I want to use Javascript only and maybe typescript only for the schemas. I understand that Tigris exposes a HTTP endpoint and is all json but wondered how well the Typescript SDK will play for pure Jav

Does ES support the embedded use case?

Can typescript be limited to just creating the schema and then use javascript for the rest of your application?

It's common to have your remote dev environment on a remote VM.

Their existing imperative code operations actually produced the wrong results (subtly) frequently or their imperative code depended on the order of the data returned from the database (undefined behavior). Yikes. That just sounds like ver
