I like TypeScript and would like to write backends in TypeScript. I'm coming around on Elixir. I never want to write Go that interacts with a database again. Rust seems complicated. I don't think I'm smart or committed enough to get anywhere with rust.

> I never want to write Go that interacts with a database again. Why? I’ve been using sqlx and it seems fine.

sqlc.dev make it way easier to deal with db

The color changing on this page gives me a migraine: https://deno.com/deploy I like Deno in principle, but I'd love to see how Slack, Github and Netlify are using it.

Nice, thank you!

They are selling a global Deno hosting service https://deno.com/deploy

And what happens when AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean, OpenShift, IBM, … roll this out?

One of them acquihires deno for 100M!

I'd spawn a new DB for that instance too. It can still go a long way to give you a look at how your application worked in the past.

Am I mistaken in thinking that’s totally ridiculous?

Let’s charitably say you can run your app with a 1GB cut down snapshot of production.

You’re going to do what, save a snapshot of the database for every commit? Every schema migration?

…and then provision that up in a running database server… which is notoriously not container friendly…

? It doesn’t sound very plausible to me.

Our database is ~1TB, and the app runs with maybe a 10GB cut down version of it, which is a pain in the ass to deal with, just for example, for local dev environments.

I agree with the parent post; it’s cute, but I can’t imagine historical per commit deployments being useful for me, honestly.

There are ways to version your database schema. Then you just need to make sure your code version is tied to your database version.

Yeah I love making prospective customers feel pain too. /s

The world doesn’t exist to cater to your weird specific thing that gives you a headache

As a matter of fact, it's exactly the opposite.

We have web accessibility standards and companies get sued for not following them.

heh, I knew for sure Deno would be successful from the first moment it appeared on HN and people here were critical of it. My rule of: The more HN criticizes it, the more likely it succeeded, still rings true.

So crypto is going to be a giant success?

Depends how you measure success. Being it a trillion dollar I would call it wildly successful.
