    what was the Nix schism? Did something like systemd happen? or like, Determinate/commercial vs Not? Or more like USA culture wars / code-of-conduct flamers (i vaguely recall some d…

    maybe wait until you have something to share before Show HN? overall your work seems like a cool thing that i’d like to look at in a few months once there’s more substantial educat…

    i poked around in there, under choreographic programming there’s one example of something not in the language as a discarded idea. if you claim X and Y make us cool and different, …

    Your README and docs don’t describe any of the interesting or unique things here. You cover `if` in README but not choreographic programming or perceus. Did i miss some big link? W…

    it’s all relative and it really depends on your scale. if your usage fits in the included compute and request count you get for $60/yr it’s absolutely gonna be cheaper. on the othe…

    sure, but s3 is far easier to buy and also far more reliable than typical distributed systems coordinator stuff like etcd/zookeeper/consul. every major cloud offers it, and there’s…

    bummer this expects NFS; this is all a brand new implementation vs what Cloudflare runs internally in production for DOs? I can’t imagine all your workerds share a single global NF…

    yeah but they can just put the dropper, etc in index.js, so that it runs at import time rather than at install time, no? i guess first-install time is often a privileged developer …

    i think wayland set linux desktop back 10 years. it’s finally coming up to parity with X11. but basic stuff like “get the latest release of of consumer GUI app $foo” is still weird…

    No. 98% of typescript specific syntax can be replaced with U+0020 SPACE to yield runnable JavaScript. The runtime semantics of the two languages are congruent. the same cannot be s…
