Let me know when you can work on a medium-sized Java codebase in Emacs or Vim smoothly.
I more or less live in Emacs, but I wouldn't use it for drawing pictures or writing SmallTalk either. The right tool for the job.

I tried truffleruby for the adventofcode challenges. Almost everything ran faster with normal ruby. I got a stack too deep error in truffleruby that I didn't get in normal ruby. I don't recall having more problems with memory with one or the other. There was one case where truffleruby was really useful though. Thus I'm with you that it's not a systems programming language. It seems good for processes that stay ON, li…
Why would you expect any speedup for programs that run for a split of a second?
> But there are obviously work around solutions in the Go ecosystem. It uses the Context ctx, which we pass around functions in order to juggle data around in the application. Man. This works. The context API allows/enables it. But I’d really recommend against passing data to functions via context. The biggest selling point of Go to me is that I can usually just look at anyone’s code and know what it’s doing, but thi…
IoC DI in Go is a massive antipattern and absolutely should not be done. Do NOT write Java/.NET style controllers in Go i.e. initializing an instance of a "controller" type with some instances of a "dependency" such as a store. Just use the dependent package directly. Initialize the package once using init() or Init(). Rely on the built-in package dependency resolver system in Go, which will catch cyclic dependencies…
