My sister-in-law is a nurse. I don't expect her to give me free medical care; even less so if I knew she was such a complain-nik about it to her friends online.

That's the one.

London metro is greater than a quarter of English population.

It can work. My current company uses a rule system to represent most of our business logic since it is so dynamic. The downside is that we have to rebuild the entire graph into memory (times the number of threads, times the number of app servers) every time anything changes (which is constant).

Facebook wrote about rebuilding a similar system in Haskell that only changes memory incrementally, so it's definitely possible to do better.

At the risk of playing the broken record, Docker didn't invent anything, etc. etc.

Music can sound good and be valuable in any setting: it can sound better with good audio engineering.

It serves everyone to have a high quality artifact.

This is not really concurrency, though, it just makes PHP resemble NodeJS.

Rails is at least an order of magnitude more widespread than Django/Laravel/any of its imitators. If you take a swing at any of the follow-ons, its proponents will invariably say it's just doing what Rails does. Try to imagine a "Why Django sucks" flamepost garnering anywhere near the attention that the same does for Rails... yeah, won't happen.

Isn't that horrifically expensive?
