#92I would love to find a way to get some sort of emulation layer to get Textual apps running in the browser. Does anyone know of any projects that might aid in this silly goal?
they're beta testing `textual-serve` which does exactly this.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
In general, startup takes time - import dependencies, read config files, make a database connection, and so on. That time can be noticeable. Years ago I had to deploy on a network file system which was very slow for file stats. (It was designed for HPC and bandwidth.) Python startup (by default) requires a large number of stat calls. It took our CGI app over a second just to start. I was able to improve it by packagi…
What is your problem with startup time? Have you timed it? How long does it take? PHP starts up from scratch on every request, yet it blows Python out of the water performance wise.
Even to execute the most minimal binary fork/execve takes a not insignificant amount of time. Thats one of the reasons why CGI fell by the wayside.

#94Lazarus/Freepascal is the way to go. The rest are involutions.
Re: Textual: Rapid Application Development framework for Python
#95After a few decades of developing applications, I am convinced that frameworks are the wrong approach. You gain development speed in the beginning, but you lose it later on when the framework introduces breaking changes and you have to keep working around a changing stack. Or the framework gets abandoned and it would be too much work to maintain it. Because it has so much bells and whistles you don't need. This one f…
I really want to agree with this, but the trouble is that an unstated prerequisite is that you need a team of developers that have a strong sense of software design. A sensibility I've come to believe is drastically in decline in more junior software engineers (though don't mistake this for a statement that the quality of these devs appears any less). Just take Ruby on Rails, which is probably a great example of a fr…
what’s with the jab about SV “senior”? where i am, senior engineers are properly senior. and nobody even knows what levels and titles people have. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Re: Textual: Rapid Application Development framework for Python
#96Did a cursory dive through, check: https://textual.textualize.io/tutorial/ and https://github.com/Textualize/textual/blob/main/docs/example... ...what have people had success with in golang-world? Anything reasonably equivalent someone could recommend? There's a fair amount of "stuff" for TUI's in golang, the thing that's very attractive about 'textualize' is it feels very "web-browser-y" and has a nice (scrollable!)…
I used termui for a project and have no complaints.
Re: Textual: Rapid Application Development framework for Python
#97Unfortunately, the "Rapid Application Development" thing also seems to apply to the library itself: you get a new release every other week, and stuff breaks in somewhat unpredictable places. So it's easy to prototype something with Textual, but hard to maintain it afterwards.

#98Question: How do projects like these sustain themselves? This project is being developed from 2 years and I see no sources of revenue. Do the developers get any form of compensation for creating this?
Re: Textual: Rapid Application Development framework for Python
#99Looks amazing! Not a seasoned Python developer, so I ask how easy it is to build a binary from this without any (major) dependencies?
I’m looking for something that helps me build installation packages of my product for Windows and Linux. There are a set of configurations that must be done before and after my customers install my software - write to INI files, check db connection, check http servers and so on.

OnlyFans mostly. Except for the CEO who can photosynthesize enough energy to sustain himself.
