Kinda sad how the industry settled on Python. The performance is not the best and the integration with native languages is far my ideal.

Yesterday I tried to create a Zig library for Bun using bunffi and it was mindblowing how easy it was. You can get pretty much the best of both worlds without obscure bindings. But yeah, both projects are still fairly young.

While not rocketscience, a lot of its features requires to know how to recompile the project with passing certain variables. Also you need to properly format prompts for each instructor model.

I think they thought they could get away with a hotfix like Intl.DateTimeFormat()

s3 is pretty much a de-facto standard, just like json like or not. Postgres also makes sense, it is the most widespread and community-liked db. What is the point of "optional libraries" tbh? It was a PITA in PHP back in the days and very inconvenient, prob most devs would prefer this way.

I feel like HN is on cognitive dissonance, they complain JS projects having too many dependencies and they also complain now when things are more integrated into the runtime because it increases vendor-lock and few extra megabytes (actually kilobytes according to the devs) to the binaries :/.

Lastly, big companies also prefer less dependencies, it is not just devs.
