Have you considered rewriting it in Rust? Not for any technical reason (I say it reflexively now)

Re:The AI bubble is 17 times bigger than the dot-com bust on Sunday October 19, 2025 @03:40PM (#45637244)
Bubble/Not bubble, what does that really change? The economy will rise and fall one way or another; it is really in cycles. If the bubble pops, it will be a sharper fall. Unless you own AI, tech stocks - probably not a big deal
AWS/GCP/Azure Cloud turns the audit beast into a house-cat: one IAM rule, one log stream, one firewall and etc. Otherwise, you need to fill out a lot of documents to prove that your bare metal is safe to host, for example, cardholder data.

More like an actor engine than IFTTT, a simple and good tool that can simplify workflows like "daily export data from HubSpot to Google spreadsheet, then send emails."

It's not about a "gotcha." Browsers once supported the GOPHER protocol but dropped it around a decade ago. This serves as an analogy: if users don't use XSLT/XML daily, browsers may eventually drop support for XSLT - supporting features cost money

Do you use it daily in browser?

People have been building things differently for the last 10 years, using json/grpc/graphql (that's why replacing complex formats like xml/wsdl/soap with just JSON is a bad idea), so why train(spend money) AI for legacy tech?
Re:Google is killing the open web on Tuesday August 19, 2025 @07:26AM (#44950380)
The article is about intentional killing XSLT/XML in the browser. I think it is evolutionary: devs switched to JSON, AI agents don't care at all - they can handle anything; XML just lost naturally, like GOPHER

And somehow I got flagged for my initial comment, which proves my point that open, chaotic, full of real voices already gone.

Hi, ntstr! I am the author of the parent post, and it is not LLM Slop (you can use gpt detectors like zerogpt.com to check text); in fact, only the "call to action" (the last sentence) part was written by LLM, just because I thought that something was missing.

The web as we knew it — open, chaotic, full of real voices already gone. Free speech isn't what it was 15 years ago; it's filtered, throttled, and buried under bots and algorithmic noise. But AI isn’t the root of the problem — it’s just another layer. The real issue is that the current internet model no longer serves people; it serves platforms. Maybe it’s not about saving the old web. Perhaps it’s time to build a new one—one that puts users, privacy, and real expression first.
It depends on what you need. For use cases like "export data from HubSpot, transform it (join by id, normalize), and load it into Google Spreadsheets," it works great. I've tested it for marketing automation, but it requires skill to configure properly.

There are bunch of 'free image finders', some of them may mix commercial stocks into results - why others couldn't be more fair and take one time payment?
