@ludicity it's just a bonus that it's an order of magnitude faster, has a standard library that's so good you barely need anything else (and what you do bring in from third party libs is mostly made by grownups who write clear, concise, no bullshit, code), and has a memory footprint that's dramatically smaller.

It's such a low bullshit language, I can't imagine using anything else for web services and web app backends.

@liberotoncello premetto che pur auspicando un boicottaggio USA, io voglio mollare WA per il suo disprezzo per la privacy. Signal è americano, ma ciò non toglie che al momento sia il miglior compromesso, perchè serve a poco avere un'App super etica se poi non la usa nessuno.

Evidenziò in foto un passaggio

@ludicity deploying large mostly Python (but also Node.js, and others) apps in a ridiculous variety of places has been a huge part of my job for the past...well, forever, and I'm really good at it. I'm the person everyone asks for help when they can't make it work and when ChatGPT can't make it work.

All of my web projects for the past two years or so are in Go, and I'm slowly migrating old stuff to Go, too. The deployment story alone is enough to make it worth the effort.

Previsioni.

@swelljoe I've been making this case on my team for why we shouldn't develop in Python anymore, and they have been very patient but I think deep down they think I'm insane

(But legit I'm not too fussed with language specifics now and am on a big "But what are the deployment/runtime characteristics of whatever you write, assuming we're smart enough to write anything in any language that isn't Brainfuck" arc)

@molly0xfff I really do like blogging and I’ve done it on a few occasions. I just can’t seem something I like to write about consistently. I’m hoping someday something clicks

I really needed to stress out the comment system on my blog so I ask a Linux question.
