@sun Postgres is overkill for a lot of things, especially for client side stuff.

Most desktop software users do not appreciate having to install Postgres as a dependency on their desktop computer. Sqlite is great here because it’s literally just a small depedency and a file.

@sun I agree. I just didn't want to do heavy refactoring to make use of it. blobfoxsweating

@sun I know the feeling. Having to bend around backwards to use multiple cores for CPU-bound stuff is a huge pain in the ass. blobfoxdeadinside

Debating converting to Java or Kotlin because the JVM works so well. blobfoxgoogly

@sun If you want to avoid Python, you could always write in C and embed interpreters to interface with the libraries. blobfoxgooglytrash

@sun They are working on it. You can already run multiple threads in parallel by using a certain pattern in C with 3.12.

@tk @sun everything else is more annoying, maybe f# could be interesting but just the tail recursion situation makes me shudder

I actually really like the JVM, and #Java itself has improved a lot lately. I'm also glad for all of the JVM language options. blobfoxgoogly
