Oh, I didn't know that, I guess from the outside it never seems that way.

My conspiracy theory is that the EU is actively trying to create their own cloud through regulation after seeing the economic success from china's internet companies after the great firewall.

Im not sure whose job it is to only write beautiful code.

If that's the case, zero programmers should be worried.

Beautiful code only tends to exist in open source.

Pulling everything into the type system does lead to madness.

Luckily i'm just the mad scientist to recreate a non-async rust web stack, here's the sqlite bit if you're interested.

im fairly sure helix-gpt does this, though i haven't tried it
Re:Show HN: Aide, an open-source AI native IDE on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @12:31PM (#42065847)
I also use helix and i've been getting some mileage out of aider, the cli tool. Confusing name, as I don't believe aider is affiliated with aide

It really is, axum is great by itself, but it's always nice to have a few nice-to-haves on top

It also has a db! macro that lets you write sql and it maps it to rust structs and fns, I've made some improvements to the macro here https://github.com/swlkr/static_sqlite
Re:Htmx 2.0.0 has been released on Monday June 17, 2024 @07:41PM (#40712512)
rust and ryde (my own framework on top of axum and rusqlite)
I'm the same way, it's one of the reasons I use helix, even for non rust dev

If they stuck with a scheme syntax, it would have been easier to make it a compiler target.

We might have had web assembly earlier

Re:Ask HN: What web frameworks do you use? on Monday September 11, 2023 @06:18PM (#37474459)
A little trait heavy, but overall it's ok! I like the extractors, didn't at first but I learned to love them.

Middleware::from_fn was a life saver in the current version, middleware was kind of annoying before that was added.

Would prefer something more like graphul but haven't given it a shot yet.

Dioxus liveview or if you don't want websockets, dioxus fullstack, you can use warp or salvo but axum is good.

Rust embed is also great, I cross compile everything into a single dynamically linked binary and scp to my vps, deployment is a breeze.

This feels like they spent a lot of money on the metaverse, it didn't work out, so now they're raising money by doing layoffs
Dioxus liveview is so good.

I tried it with salvo and it just worked (tm).

The only downside which they're working on is some kind of socket reconnect if someone navigates away and the socket gets disconnected for some reason

Re:Ask HN: What's your unpopular tech, programming opinion on Tuesday January 31, 2023 @11:38AM (#34597410)
There have been incremental improvements lately that might lead to code in a db instead of flat files at some point in the near future:

- rise of autoformatters

- language servers decoupling editing from editors

- all in one build tools (cargo, go)

This might be case of happens slowly then all at once.

It's not an insane jump from LSPs to new editor UIs and since the code is formatted on save, people care less about the minutiae of 80 char lines.

I own a 2018 4Runner, best purchase I've ever made.

The touchscreen is small and only for music or nav.

The controls for A/C and cruise and everything real are large, beautiful buttons.
