The Acorn macOS app uses SQLite in a similar way: https://flyingmeat.com/acorn/docs/technotes/ACTN002.html

Looks interesting! +2 for Postgres and AWS support. Looking forward to GCP support someday...

The man has moved on to functional programming since then. People are allowed to change. I have 211+ programming books in my library going back to 1998. I don't consider any books …

Good point

Someone is criticizing a tech book written 16 years ago? *insert Jackie Chan meme here*

Congratulations weiwenhao! I like what I see so far and am looking forward to following the continued development of the language. Do you have any social media accounts set up for …

The GUI is reminiscent of BeOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeOS or Haiku https://www.haiku-os.org/

I tried looking into Polylith a few months ago, when I first discovered it. I recall the feeling of experiencing information overload. Though, I am not a Clojure expert either, so …

Nice! One suggestion I have is replace the ```bash references with ```console

Great! Where's the announcement on https://twitter.com/nim_lang so I can retweet it?

https://ejstembler.com I've had a blog since 1998, though my posting frequency has waxed and waned over the years. I use it as a partial résumé and also as outlet for my interests.…

I couldn't get embedded templating to work for nim. Something similar to Ruby's ERB: https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.7.0/libdoc/erb/rdoc/ERB.html . Or Crystal's ECR: https://crystal-…

I actually started writing my blog in Crystal, took a little break, and started writing it in Nim. I really like Nim a lot. Some of the code came out more concise in Nim. I like ho…

I wrote my blog using Crystal 0.33 (plus kemal and bulma) and it's great! https://ejstembler.com

Is it truly native? I was digging around and found some references to https://www.wxwidgets.org . I thought the GUI looked a little off to be truly native...

I originally wrote the code back in 2014 (Ruby 1.9.3-p545), but just now got around to blogging about it and putting the code in a repo. Better late than never I guess.

I'm surprised the author doesn't go into deeply nested maps and deep merges. That's an issue none of the languages solves natively.

Having read Carl Sagan's Cosmos in my youth, I always feel guilty re-reading a book: “If I finish a book a week, I will read only a few thousand books in my lifetime, about a tenth…

Good article. In addition to running flog, I also run brakeman and rails_best_practices.
