Oh neat, TIL about old.lemmy.sdf.org. That's great!

Neat, how do you manage lemmy? Any particular client you use?

• Where I live taxis are not safe, neither is public transport for someone that looks like me, uber/car is the safest option to get around unfortunately.
• Taking photos of family and events
• 2FA
• Google maps - don't think I could get around without it.

My feeling for Go and why I went with it for my project is that I think it is the language that sucks the least for server development since I value simplicity, decent performance, fast feedback loop, portability, offline docs and good tooling. It also has a big userbase, and I have a bunch of obscure tooling elsewhere so I felt I didn't want to introduce more esoteric choices. But it felt a bit sad that it was the best option.

I also looked at Elixir but found the layers of abstractions a bit intimidating and I heard stories that compilation times becoming long.

Ocaml ticks most of the boxes of what I look for, but the library ecosystem is immature for server development IMO.

Do you have any language you prefer?

Yeah I'm very new to the language; I like the simple toolchain and network libraries but the way I need to reimplement a bunch of primitive functions surprises me a lot (no math.Max for ints ??). I feel productive in Go, but a part of me feels that is just because I'm outputting so much boilerplate haha.

If I could have ocaml with the toolchain and library ecosystem of Go, I'd be happy.

Really nice. We're in the process of setting up office tooling for my work, and there is little competition for Google Suite, since it's cheap as hell and includes so much. Some competition in the space is very welcome.

One thing that scares me about proton is that git send-email seems to not work great (at least according to git-send-email.io). Anyone knows if that is still accurate?
