We have found H2 in Postgres mode to be the fastest way to test db stuff, at least in Postgres and Java. In Go you might lose most of the speed advantage since its not running "in JVM". It also doesn't support many of…
Java meets your requirements. It gets a lot of shit but there's reasons why its so widely used. The standard libraries + community are larger than Go, you can find a library to do anything. Standard library is huge and…

Its not just a Rust problem, I've run into the same thing in Java and I'm sure it exists elsewhere. The only answer I can come up with is to keep your app cleanly divided into modules. There's some cognitive overhead…
Conspiracy, but I don't think the US ever stopped researching nuclear propulsion. There's too many advantages. They built a few working and miniaturized test engines in the 60's but never put them on planes? I don't…
Very true. IMO many people that hate XML config files just haven't used an IDE that validates schema. Its super nice to have auto-complete and property validation on config files, something not offered by JSON or YAML.…
Very Java-esque name for the largest Java project there is. I like it. "Eclipse AdoptOpenJDK Adoptium" has a good ring to it. Reminds me of the SharedSessionContractImplementor I worked on last week for our Hibernate…
You can probably just check the referrer header and display a giant nag message to people coming from that business listing. "This website is not associated with company X which have been misrepresenting themselves by…
That's far too optimistic about storage. For small off-grid systems, you need ~5 days of battery capacity to ride out lack of wind/sun. On a large scale you'll need less because you can move power from place to place.…
To those lamenting that they're scraping... Google is the biggest scraper of them all. Facebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft. All the big boys scrape voraciously, yet try their best to block themselves from being scraped.…
Java is very similar to C++. Its boring in the sense that most things have been around forever and really old code is terrible but you still have to deal with it because backwards compatibility is so good. If you don't…
That doesn't make Java a bad choice for building new things
I haven't used XML in our Java apps in many years. Most of them don't contain a single XML file, unless they use Maven, then they have one.
IMO Ruby is already being left behind. HTTP/2 is a good example. Rails doesn't support it, and I can't find anything recent saying support will be added soon. Java is notorious for slow innovation yet language level…
I think job descriptions are just marketing materials for developers at a lot of places. Advertising your COBOL just gets you people that want to make more COBOL. Every job I take, whatever the oldest crappiest…
Switch to React if you can. I've been using Angular for years and the solution to problems is generally "more magic". Its so convoluted these days I don't think its even realistic to build an Angular app outside of…
Trust me, its the lack of standard library. Python and Java are both "batteries included" . You can write apps decently with just 5-10 dependencies if you want. Every JS app I've worked on has like 10-20X the…

This is a great idea!
For Deno this seems like a very good choice. Pick the good parts from Go and reuse them. I applaud Deno for going its own way with the module system though... That's been a hot topic in Go for a very long time
Parsing minified JS takes up quite a bit of load time for most sites. Binary formats for VM languages aren't just smaller, they're many times faster and easier to parse and verify
This is actually how maven is for Java as well. the repo isn't official but its so widespread its defacto.
