This gist is something i threw together really quick (with the help of an agent to save me thinking). It fetches/caches for some configurable amount of time the top 30 hacker news stories and lets you display a random one. I have it as my motd when i open a shell.

Thanks for your kind words. I think the product is great and I do really like it, I just couldn't resist the urge to pick at it and ground it.

Recently clockwork labs put out this great marketing video launching spacetimedb 2.0. It was seriously impressive so I took a closer look at their bench and results.

TLDR It felt a little dishonest due to using different clients, protocols, concurrency, etc in the benchmarks but I'd love for someone to come explain how foolish and wrong I am.

I really like the idea of gleam but I don't want to hand implement serialization for every type (even with an LSP action) in 2026.

If only there was a typed language that didn't hand wave serialization

I was trying to get this working in a rust ecosystem some time ago but none of the blessed.rs sql (rusqlite, sqlx) wrappers seem to take advantage of it yet and wrapping it yourself is a bit tricky since when I was trying I couldn't figure out a way to to get emscripten wasm code to play nice with wasm32-unknown-unknown without some kind of JS wrapper which then requires implementing the interface those crates expect and exposing it from JS. Once that is done in rust itll be great there too!

Interesting note: I believe the scripting language that larian (creators of the highly dynamic divinity titles and baldurs gate 3) is a prolog variant.
