Great post. I do the same thing for all of my Rust web servers too. I don't use anyhow though, prefer rolling everything myself - which as you call out is a pain after a while.

I used to use Actix for a web project, but the Websocket story was severely lacking. Actix is non-work-stealing multi-threaded (to achieve "performance", I presume) and thus it has to use a non-async Actor model for inter-Websocket interactions. This meant that I could not use an async DB pool or an async HTTP requests library within my Websocket code.

Alternatively, Axum is built by the same people that made tokio, is work-stealing multi-threaded, and the Websocket code is async be default. It is just overall a better library.

I've happy about the recent stabilization of WebGPU in Chrome, and excited for the rest of the browsers to follow suit.

I wanted to start experimenting with it, and attempted to do so with Deno (which is what I've been developing in the past few projects), and I'm sad to find out that they recently removed WebGPU from its interface due to slower start up times and larger binary sizes [0][1] :/ I hope they re-enable it soon so that I don't have to mess around with tsc and webpack again...

This is very fun! Thanks for linking!

If we don't experiment with getting off of this rock, we're dooming the lives of all known living organisms in the known universe.

An entire universe, void of all life, that doesn't get to experience itself deeply saddens me. Though that might just be the fitness-function within me talking.

An MMO Minesweeper Royale.... Not a bad idea actually! This definitely inspires me to make my own!

Looking forward to the robots.txt linters created as wrappers around this (especially for VSCode).

"But the spores may not be all bad though. Cortesao's research is looking for ways the space-growing fungi may help us long-term, investigating their capacity to grow in less than ideal conditions. The study's aim is to harness the hardy microbes as biological factories to create materials astronauts may use on longer missions, such as antibiotics and vitamins."

I wouldn't mind tasting some space-alcohol.

Thanks for the detailed response! I was definitely going to ask 'why not TypeScript?' if your issue was mainly types, but you beat me to it! I reached similar conclusions regarding the benefits you witnessed switching to GO; it's nice seeing them spelled out.

I've created a few projects using the Node/Express ecosystem and have so far loved it. I'm starting to branch out and learn Go now. Can you discuss/compare your experience working in both ecosystems?

I wonder what potential by-products of said organism would be. ex. gases released

I went with firstlast, except with the .me domain extension rather than the .com (too expensive).

I can't speak for the others, but when I use the terms 'vanilla JavaScript' and 'vanilla CSS', the distinction I'm trying to make is that I'm not using any libraries or frameworks.

There is a meme within the community about 'vanilla JavaScript' called VanillaJS:

Multiplayer functionality doesn't seem to be working for me. Is this just me, or an artifact of the compilation?

Does anyone have a pdf copy of the book? I see that it is released for free, I just would prefer not to sign up for another service.

Great document. Very useful for maturing a GraphQL API past that of a cloned tutorial.

This looks absolutely amazing.
