Re:The Gleam Programming Language on Wednesday January 14, 2026 @09:56AM (#46616735)
I am really interested in whether anyone has evaluated the performance of Gleam? The language is simple, easy to understand, like `Go` for example, but is it really performant like Go, or does it have any performance cost since it runs on top of a VM?

Re:Show HN: MCP-Kafka – Natural Language Interface for Kafka Commands on Thursday March 20, 2025 @09:37AM (#43423173)
Looks cool. I started with python but then switched to go as I am more proficient in the later. I will go through your repo to learn how to construct MCP using python :)

Show HN: MCP-Kafka – Natural Language Interface for Kafka Commands

Posted by akanapuli on Tuesday March 18, 2025 @05:48AM
from the show-hn dept.

I built a Model Context Protocol server that allows users to interact with Kafka using natural language instead of complex CLIs. It uses LLMs to interpret commands in plain English and executes the corresponding Kafka operations. This makes Kafka more accessible to non-experts while maintaining its powerful functionality.
