I'm a big fan of Postgres I've used it for a while and prefer it (partly due to experience) over other options. There is a lot that it _can_ do, especially when you take FDW, exten…

Although you inevitably end up writing some OOP code in F# when interacting with the dotnet ecosystem, F# is a really good OOP language. It's also concise, so I don't spend as much…

They killed off VB, which if I recall the announcement correctly, noted that it statistically had a larger user base (by Microsoft metrics) than F#. There are a number of companies…

I think saying that Spring is the representative of Java metrics is somewhat equivalent to saying that full aspnet mvc is the representative of dotnet metrics. On the dotnet side, …

Are you on (or would you mind adding your company to) the F# companies list? https://github.com/fsprojects/fsharp-companies

I'm at my current company (actually writing mostly typescript and node services now) because of a YC "who's hiring" post that mentioned F# positions (bait and switch /s, but my exp…

The main release note here is more stable async. I’m curious how folks using nim feel about the async situation. One of the most recent opinions from the discord is: “ we have asyn…

Not only do you need to walk a mere block or two from the tourist line to find charming quiet spots, but there are tons of people that walk directly past beautiful and interesting …

Yeah that makes a lot more sense. I can see how this would be a nice direction to take things instead of trying to retrofit graphql or some other layer onto an existing architectur…

How does this work internally? From the docs, it looks like it's building a graph to retrieve data, though the comparison it gives contrasts it to doing many small individual queri…

Not every developer needs to know about all of these things. I'd take this more as a "list of interesting details related to common things you might depend on", it's akin to sugges…

I've always hoped for something like https://github.com/fordfrog/apgdiff that was comprehensive and maintained. I want to manage my database items like I manage my code. I get a hi…

Well you say that.... https://openresty.org/en/ "Real-world applications of OpenResty® range from dynamic web portals and web gateways, web application firewalls, web service platf…

Interesting read. I’ve often wondered why the projection we see needs to be the same as the stored artifact. Even something like a git diff should be viewable via a projection of t…

Hearing from past coworkers and friends who have been on the job hunt at some point within the last 5 years has been interesting with regards to what is scrutinized in a candidates…

I'd double check the implementations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33606902 Many frameworks game those benchmarks. While there are some metrics they are useful for, I've ye…

Ah I had completely forgotten about that with all of the AOT stuff I've been watching. That's a great point.

I've worked with dotnet and node for a while now (15 years of experience, with roughly half in each, and work at a company that is heavily invested in both stacks). I've had the op…

Good to know. My references are typescript, fable, and cljs for “what does it generally look like bundle-size wise, what can I expect as I add more libraries/functionality, etc

Interesting. So it was 11k for the dropdown component, but if you eschew the std lib inclusion (which sounds fairly impractical), it goes down to 3k. When you have a page with many…

https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimsuggest.html I just set it up on neovim with Mason and it was pretty quick and easy. That being said my preferred environment is jetbrains stuff and I’…

Regarding the js backend: how is the size of the produced artifacts? I recall seeing a comparison of “transpile to js” languages and noted Kotlin and nim as the two that were outpu…

Yeah typically if you're exposing F# code out to C# as a library, you'd want to keep the external API utilizing features that have better interoperability (classes), whereas code t…
