Why so? Genuinely curios from a guy who knows neither.

I'm totally new to cockroach so I have 2 questions..

1. Is there a managed service of this db where it auto scales, does geo replication etc all by itself?

2. Is there any really good book on cockroachdb?

Can someone briefly tell me what is the main USP/focus of this OS?

I don't star projects if they help me or if I use them. I star if I like them.
Excuse my ignorance, but is this written in a .net language that transpiles to js runtime or this written in HTML/CSS/js that transpiles to .net runtime? I'm probably missing what is electron.net and similar platforms.

Ask HN: Anyone has experience with AppRun.js?

I happened to see this thread: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/a-real-world-comparison-of-front-end-frameworks-with-benchmarks-2018-update-e5760fb4a962 and was once reminded of lines of code metric. I dont mean to say it is the most important or very important but if frameworks can do a lot for you and you have to write very minimal for your own application it is most welcome! I am planning to...

>One of our goal is to provide web developers a sort of small and handy environment that mainly focusing on creating API servers or microservices

How does it explain the motivation behind creating another language? What were the reasons the developer/team behind goby thought existing languages/tools didnt help? My questions are also about how different goby vs ruby is, or goby vs go. I also question if the language is dynamically or statically typed, etc which are bare minimum I expect in introduction.

Re:Goby: A new Ruby-inspired language written in Go on Friday August 25, 2017 @02:44AM (#15096632)
Unless you explain the motivation behind yet another language, it's hard for people like me to like a new thing. How is it different from Ruby? Just concurrency support? How is it different from Go? Just ruby syntax? Is the language statically typed or dynamically?

Additionally I would like to see some syntax examples at the start as well.

Performance perhaps slightly lower than React though.

1. I get the difference you're talking about between an instance (identity based) and a value. My question is exactly about a value based oop language, more like 'Value Oriented Programming Language' with modelling and patterns similar to oop languages. C# has struct types, so does many languages which have mechanisms to disallow state mutation but they are all optional. You can pretty much do oop modelling with them all.

2. On Ruby, is it possible to have functions on hashtables, just like methods on objects? Is it possible to define a Person hashtable and a Car hashtable and type system pick up the difference? It would be a hack to code like that if idiomatic Ruby code is not built around hashtables.

3. I see your point not to get hung up on dot syntax, my question was out of curiosity. I do like object modelling and wished if I could continue with a paradigm I'm so familiar with without its warts (side effects).

Thanks. Will play around with it.. Heard similar things about Rust, F#, etc. Will spend some time on them all.

Ask HN: Any OOP language which enforces / encourages purity / immutability?

I'm a c# developer and working on large projects made me realise how hard is it to maintain projects with side effects everywhere.Which made me wonder if there are any OOP languages out there which has a strong emphasis on immutability. For e.g. syntax that lets user construct an object only on instantiation, syntax to easily clone an object, syntax to differentiate between a pure function and...

Holy... ~5M ops/sec on Android!!

How did you test it on Android? On stock browser? Or on some sort of default web view control? Does that mean an Android phone is more powerful than a cheap Atom computer?
