Litestream is super interesting, I managed to get it to run with S3 as a backend. Making apps with sqlite backends (there are a _lot_ lf them) almost stateless, at least no filesystem stare. I feel like s3 state is much more manageable, backups and syncing is done by the provider.

What is the current state of the art lua toolchain? Lua is king for dsl embedded in other software.

Used it for world of warcraft scripting and openresty http rules, that’s a wide range.

> The aacp.rs and the att.rs files were translated from Kotlin to Rust with AI. Some parts of the media_controller.rs file, mainly the pulse integration, was also AI-generated.

It’s getting attention because the subtext of the article is the zig vs AI ideological battle going on (and zig vs Rust somewhat on the backburner)

Recent events AFAIU: - bun (bought by big AI) switching to Rust - zig team banning AI pull requests (because they want to review humans) - The cloud industry buying all coding tooling companies (uv, vite, bun) but zig being unbuyable

If anybody from the zig core team is reading this: thank you and carry on the good work.

I wonder if having a /dev/ntsync device could make it easier for game devs to compile their games for linux in the first place, instead of having to use wine. There may be other windows specific dependencies though, but this is one less right?
