Hahahaha this is awesome! Such a great and creative use case for generative AI

Thanks this worked for me!
I’m usually not one for RGB lights, but this is sliiiick. Sweet build!
FYI Mono is essentially dead now or at least no longer necessary as .NET 6 is open source and cross platform, so you can just use regular .NET on Linux now.
I vote option 2
Thanks, yeah looks like it was a Memmy app bug. I just opened the post in a browser and the link is there.
I feel like I also had the “if it compiles it works” experience with Golang as well, but holy cow is it a much simpler and easier to work with language. I want to like Rust, I really do, but even just the syntax is painful to look at lol.
Also the cult-like community is a bit off putting…never seen anything quite like that for any language…
It does seem to have some genuinely solid benefits though so maybe one day I’ll get into it.
I’m genuinely interested in reading this blog post but looks like you forgot to link it
This is the way
I read the TL;DRs knowing what was going to happen only to continue reading and feel physical pain. What’s wrong with me…
You mean like AVX-512? Oh wait… lol
Yeah I have a love-hate relationship with it haha. We used it for our backend and it was rock solid for almost a decade before the startup folded due to the pandemic. I don't think we ever had any unit or integration tests lol, but pretty much if it compiled and the code looked correct it worked and bugs were generally easy to resolve. It was also super simple to deploy because it's just a single binary and it handles threading really well so you only need to run a single instance per frontend VM to utilize all of the machine's resources. Also for backend usage, there was almost always a well written built-in package for about anything we needed either in the standard library or the "extended standard library".
With that said, the language itself...yeah I don't really love it. Especially coming from other modern languages it's missing so many features (basic stuff like generics, etc) and has "weird" (or maybe just different) code patterns. It always took a while to start "thinking in Golang" after working on our other code bases for a while, whereas I could bounce between other languages easily.
So yeah, for performance and reliability it was a 10/10 for us, but the language itself I felt like was a 5/10 for me.
