The post advocates for structured concurrency, but it compares a language primitive with a library abstraction. In Go, implementing the same basic nursery concept is straightforward with `golang.org/x/sync/errgroup`:

  g, ctx := errgroup.WithContext(ctx)

  g.Go(func() error {
    return task1(ctx)
  })

  g.Go(func() error {
    return task2(ctx)
  })

  return g.Wait()

If you don't care about error propagation or cancellation at all, the standard library also provides `sync.WaitGroup`.

The author also seems to argue that structured concurrency is always preferable, but I do not think that is true. There are valid use cases for unstructured concurrency, particularly for long-lived or independently managed tasks.

I remember that. It was the first time I heard about Scala.

I saw a lot of RoR companies/users thinking “should we do the same?” without even realizing that they do not have the same twitter scalability problems.

Chile is listed in Asia. LOL

The only issue that I have with iCloud+ with my custom domain is about two gmail accounts which I don’t get mail from. It’s super weird.

China is doing pretty well on EV.

Well, USD is used too. For decades. Even with too many regulations and security controls implemented by financial institutions around the world.

News technologies will require more and more energy.

It's possible to ban bitcoin?

Gambling has been a huge disaster for the country as a whole. If it were up to me, I would have already banned all gambling platforms in the country. But to make matters worse, the government is studying a state-owned gambling platform.
