I enjoyed using it in college during my programming language theory course. However, I thought it was meant to be more of an academic/teaching language. Why should a company use it over Haskell or Clojure?

Almost nobody uses the standard lib for http in practice. Just use Unirest/OkHttp/SpringBoot then it’s trivial. SpringBoot is the best framework that I have worked with regardless of language. It covers most use case out of the box and everything is still completely configurable.

Twilio is great and we used it on my last team, which is a fortune 50. However, I saw the issues with having a subpar sales team. As I was leaving the communications team, "management" decided they wanted to replace Twilio with a Salesforce product. That Salesforce product uses Twilio for sending e-voice calls and text messages. Unfortunately my arguments against the switch fell on deaf ears

Big fan of Postman for quickly iterating on API's, microservice integration tests, and one off requests. However, my team keeps the collections in git and they are very difficult to diff. This almost always require a detailed commit (doesnt usually happen) or me asking the dev what they changed. Any suggestions on how to improve comparing two collections?
