I think I started writing with a hackernews and LinkedIn crowd in mind and then just finished writing it with hn types in mind.
No it's no inscrutable but for the average person it's just a spaghetti wall of text
What is your definition of thinking?
eBPF has a terrible name but it's absolutely wonderful tech. If you're running a database SaaS you can implement eBPF filters to do the accounting for billing based usage, regardless of which database you use!
To me that's irrefutable evidence that it's really well designed
1. Suggest drainAndCloseBody // Team: this is reasonable
2. Implement drainAndCloseBodyWithTimer // Team: no problems here
3. then drainAsyncAndCloseBodyWithTimer // Team: a bit wordy but no problem here
4. Someone at google uses 3. with an http/2 connection // Team: this is where we draw the line?
I sympathize with the struggle of following golang's mission to be simple when you consider this common but tricky edge case. Iteration 3 makes sense but by gosh is it ugly ha.
If I'm on commit A, then save the work and now I'm on commit B, how does cross-search ensure it doesn't return results for code JUST in commit A (i.e. code that is no longer in the codebase).
I think it perfectly illustrates that even though an agent can give you the abilities, it's still up to the driver to make decisions.
In this case the CEO could have consulted someone with your expertise. Same ability, but vastly different experience.
Yikes that's a hard set of requirements. Makes sense but I can already see a ton of headaches with that
The "audit" and "debug" mode are specially useful. I use bubblewrap and using a new harness with it is usually a couple of rounds of wack-a-mole with strace to figure out all the harnesses dependencies.
I haven't given this much thought (I also just started with golang last year) but I'm assuming the only real path here is to provide extension SDKs in Lua or other languages whose interpreters have been implemented in go.
I think that's what grafana's k6 [1] does with a JS interpreter
Good enough to show competence, and instill confidence in the team/company. Later releases can be more efficient.
I think it's a great release with that framing.
To me it's more of a reality of creating a tool with a huge active community and a community of contributors and creating a tool with a small team and small community.
From the skim I read of this article it seems both projects arrived at the same solution: support both but make SHA-256 the default.
"Both Fossil and Git started out using only SHA1 hashes. But when the SHAttered attack against SHA1 was published on 2017-02-23, the need to migrate to a stronger hash algorithm was recognized. Fossil added the ability to use SHA3-256 as an alternative on 2017-03-01 (six days after the SHAttered attack was first published). SHA3-256 is now the default for all new repositories and check-ins in Fossil, though older check-ins that occurred prior to SHAttered can still use their original SHA1 hash. Hence, no repositories had to be rebuilt and no hyperlinks were broken."

To me it's so interesting watching in realtime Git is still battling with this decision and for Fossil it was just another week of development.
That whole page is fun to read. Another fun fact somewhere else in the docs is that Fossil uses a grow-only set to store commits. They came up with this scheme some years before it was formalized by CRDTs!
I think you're right that it's a matter of taste and that the intent is better represented by reladraw.
If I can point some personal downsides of pikchr is that there's no loops and when using macros you can't use parameters to create object labels.
For example, Triangle$1: line...
Just some thoughts in case you're looking for future inspiration for the language
I've been playing with pikchr quite a bit and it has containers and you can specify links relative to the container. I can picture (pun not intended) your counter-example
I've started using golang last year and I feel like I'm missing exactly this kind of experience with these patterns
I wonder what dangoodmanUT is using! This is the time to compare!
