I don't really know how to take comments like this.

I work on a pipeline that processes millions of events per day in a pipeline that contains two pretty busy Go programs. One has an embedded Javascript engine and does all kinds of pattern matching and string manipulation. The other does a ton of database read/write and some crypto-calculations to do data integrity for us.

Millions of events. Per day. Never a panic in production.

It is easily possible to write deterministic, highly performant, and durable applications in Go.

Why did you decide to use an embedded JavaScript engine instead of pure go?

> millions of events per day

I was talking about millions of events per every couple of seconds, not per day. A million events per day can be accomplished with just 11 per second, btw; a very... achievable number.

WhatsApp, which is built on OTP, handled 64 billion messages in a day. Averaging out to 744,000 a second. Almost 10 years ago. (Granted, also on 8000 cores. But thanks to the concurrency...)
