Fair, I'll shut up until I have more real world experience with Rust. One thing that I remember well that really annoy me were the extremely slow compile times (these was two years ago, maybe it's much better now) since I value fa

Rust is great for reliable production systems, for sure, but for 'let's quickly prototype this new feature', it’s too strict. Imagine figuring out a perfect algorithm and spending a few hours implementing it just to be told b

So, I don't agree with your assessment at all. Writing a large enterprisey business app in Rust will likely run faster, have fewer bugs, use less memory, and even scale out better. That's true but which is more flexible for the

The go version looks perfectly fine to me (saying this as someone who uses clojure every day) ;) Something else to consider is performance, in most implementations the for loop is going to be more efficient.

REPL is Clojure’s superpower. This is the only community were I keep seeing the word 'superpower' used repeatedly in most blog posts and forums.

I don't think that anyone who uses Javascript as part of their backend stack has any room to criticize. Nodejs is a solid server runtime these days, widely test by big companies with big traffic as their frontend servers. And there i

No need to go full SPA, dynamic dropdown can just be a component(with react-select) in your MPA. You create coupling between your front-end server and the browser but that's not bad at all for many type of webapps.

I have some SQLite databases that are chewing through over 1K writes per second in production (WAL=on). Is that with synchronous full(2) or normal(1)? What's your SQLITE_THREADSAFE mode?

But the fact that they appear unable to see the beauty implied by `/usr/bin/env bb` or `shadow-cljs publish` lol, what beauty are you referring to with those two? Sorry but you aren't any different.

Since you don't know if your product will workout and you want to go fast you use a third-party service first. Of course, for some type of stuff, you might have to go with python but if both can equally do the job well in the backend a

Even faster for 0->1, use Javascript, big ecosystem as Python but same language in front-end and back-end. Faster runtime also.
