This is exactly, what I wanted the frontend developers to do. Junior developers introduce new library/framework just because it looks "cool to work with", later it becomes a problem, which will then be replaced by another library (its a endless loop these days).

Thanks for the reply. Also, when I run in an microservice architecture, how does hasura handles say for example websocket across the services? Do we need to depend on any other library?

Can you share some samples for these things if available. I will be glad to look at it.

Does hasura supports database replication? When I looked last time, it wasn't. Also I feel these tools are not enterprise ready, IMHO.

This is great. I did the same for Express.js last year. If anyone interested in it, here is the link: https://github.com/antsmartian/lets-build-express

This is so true that I can relate this myself and my co-workers. We work on javascript side most of the time and daily there will be set of developers talking about new bundlers, react features, hooks etc and they plan to use it in the production. The one thing I see and relate to this article is that, few team have used flow stating its a great tool for static typing in js world and now they are forced to change now to typescript. The same developers who introduced flow into the codebase, now in a position to say flow has huge drawbacks compared to typescript. Now they are moving to typescript, but who knows, typescript can change too. We never know. I always fight against these tech updates, without understanding its cost, but in most cases I fail to.

Does anyone used Chakara core? How does it compares itself with V8?

Well if you are looking for a huge dataset, I would suggest stack overflow.

I remember I wrote a node script to download all question and dump into my Postgres instance. It was fun, Postgres with an index could able to fetch results super fast

How many answers for this question?

How many questions are unanswered?

With gin index, I could do a free text search as well.

Slightly off topic but I see Go is better fit too. When i started learning go I read the source of Buntdb

https://github.com/tidwall/buntdb

It was very well written and easy to pick up as well.

I don't quite get this, you are saying Erlang is fault tolerant? I'm confused here because fault tolerance is something that the application using a particular language needs to make sure right? Sorry if I mistaken your statement.

That's excellent point. When I digged into express source I understood several things like how it extends the response object via prototype to add methods like send etc. Also you will understand how exactly next function is implemented and then you can literally understand anything about the library.

antoaravinth — Sun, 03 Jun 2018 06:44:40 +0000

On a side note, if someone asks me to prototype anything on Java world, will pick Grails. Getting a webpage up and running in Grails is so easy.

Cool. I was seeing source of inner js, which in deed uses proxies to create structural sharing.

I love this idea. I always, take a famous open source project and try to re-create or go through the source of it. Its very tough, but when you do so the learning is very immense. Thanks for the link.

With react context in place now starting from 16.3, I guess we can start using them for app level storage rather going to tools like redux.

It looks very similar to Either functor (left which always return nothing). Looks cool though.
