well for development that's a good idea. For production you don't want to have webpack serving anything, you want it compiled, right?

d215 on The State of Go: Where we are in February 2016

I second taking a look at Go, but be aware that for replacing shell scripts Go has one big disadvantage: binaries tend to get rather large, because all libraries are statically linked.
I have one script that writes postgres, does a HTTP request and needs to read file. 100 locs resulted in 7.2M binary size.

d215 on The Controversial State of JavaScript Tooling

Most people's complaint was Microsoft was trying to push their own proprietary standards (Activex anyone?) upon the www at large. Also their adherence to Web standards at the time IE6 came out was so bad, that it caused almost unsurmountable instability.

d215 on If Uber works, you might be less happy with your transport options

In Amsterdam - third most expensive place in the world to take a cab - a government enforced monopoly was broken down at the end of the 90s. The result was that prices actually went up and service went down. Also, special staff has been appointed to allocate taxis at taxi stands, otherwise taxi drivers end up fighting over clients. So, this situation is indeed quite suitable for Uber to take over, but it is not because of a government enforced monopoly. I guess most people in Amsterdam are nostalgic about government regulated taxi business.

For new SPAs Ember rocks. Also keeping up with the latest and greatest Ember is a breeze. I would not however like to refactor an existing front end application to use Ember. Probably React is better suited for integration with existing front end applications.
Although Ember really feels like idiomatic Javascript to me and they try hard to adhere to new web standards (e.g. web components, ES6 modules) it is also very opinionated about what should go where and how.

Maybe the spirit of Voltaire's work is captured in this proverb, but Voltaire never actually said or wrote this anywhere.
Apparently it's a phrase from a biography of Voltaire by Evelyn Beatrice Hall.
