#32I've used Python (django/flask/fast api), Java (springboot), Ruby on Rails for writing web applications and APIs. Nothing beats Go. When you use HTMLX (goat) + sqlc (goat) + pgx (another goat) + Chi (yet another goat) and Sqlite (goat). Most apps will not need anything more than Sqlite, i've several sqlite apps doing a couple of million visits per day. Compiles to signal binary blazingly fast. Deploy using systemd se…
Can you share what some of those apps are?

#34Need a straight binary port now
Why stop there? Next, I'm prying open a CPU and poking the transistors with a 9V battery and paperclips to make it execute what I want. Slower, but you get so much control.

#36This is a great resource, thank you!
The last time I did anything in assembler was x86 under DOS. Your code makes ARM64 with a modern OS less scary than I thought it would be.

You don't need to use assembly for high performance web app when you can just use Go.

How are you merging sqlc and pgx with sqlite ?
Specifically how can you use pgx with sqlite while pgx is a postgres-specific library? Sqlc works great with Postgres or Sqlite, Sqlc works with pgx when connecting to Postgres, but pgx can't be used with Sqlite AFAIK

#39Even after we've all retired (pretty soon for those who can afford it) or transitioned out of software engineering (for those who can't), we'll still get to amuse each other with home-brew projects like this. Warm fuzzy feeling - I'll take it!
Thank you! This is one of the nicest things I've heard in a while.
