Slight tangent, but this reminds me of discussions I've seen in the Postgres email servers about native support for real-time materialized views. Does anyone know if we can expect to see something like this in a future version of Postgres?
Agree with this article 100%. At my old company we chose to write our server in Go instead of Java. We ended up regretting it because it was significantly harder to hire developers who could write in Go vs. Java.
Later, I read a Paul Graham essay where he says that a company should choose its programming language based on how fast they can iterate in that language. And it clicked for me.
When did this happen? From what I head and what I see go is starting to get quite popular. Not Java level of course but it shouldn't be impossible to hire go devs now. Especially that it's not the hardest language to learn.
