Finally, all of the boilerplate and over-engineered components are gone.
You’re finally free to solve the just business problems. And you’ll be fighting integration issues a whole lot less.
I have no idea why any saas based startup, whether it’s one person or VC backed, would start with anything less.
The day will come when a small team IPOs with this stack. It's just that productive.
I've been having a wonderful time spinning up small projects using Tcl, Wapp, and Sqlite. Tcl's quoting rules makes it really easy to embed HTML (or anything else, really) inline within a procedure. Simple example: # available at /style.css proc wapp-page-style.css {} { wapp-mimetype text/css wapp-cache-control max-age=3600 wapp-trim { body { background: aliceblue; } } } # available at /hello proc wapp-page-hello {}…
I loved Tcl way back before I switched to Perl. So cool seeing Tcl and HTML combined like this!
I especially like the shoplist one. Such a simple application that's immediately useful.

I simply just don't have as much fun with other languages anymore. Clojure let me write some of the most elegant code I have ever written, and knowing certain nooks and crannies of Clojure lets me pull off some...interesting stuff.
For work? Elixir! I particularly enjoy writing tests in elixir compared to any other language so far. Most code is transparent so you can always peek under the hood to see what it's doing, maybe copy a few ideas for your own use. Package management is rather straight forward. The console access in production has been a godsend to execute one off scripts or running export tasks, diagnostics or other bits. For personal…
That's where a lot of the fun-for-greenfield ones are way less fun, including Rails.
I'm finding more and more that I just want to use JUCE to build apps, and be done with the platform wars entirely. It has pretty much everything I need in terms of UI elements, and it is so well laid out as a framework that I can almost just guess at things without having to do a lot of scurrying around to find docs and things. Definitely worth a look if you just want to build clean, efficient, platform-agnostic code…
I think you mean https://juce.com Pretty expensive for indie devs, though.
>expensive
I mean, I've made 50x what I invested in JUCE already, and its only been a year of development .. but yeah, I guess it is pretty expensive when you are just getting started. Still, the Personal Use -> Indie step is an attainable one, and it shouldn't be terribly difficult to recover the cost relatively quickly once you come up with something, built with the Personal license, that might finally be qualified for an Indie release.
