Durable execution comes with overhead that you'll need to determine whether or not fits your use case. If you're looking for raw speed then durable workflows are going to be a steep trade off. Most workflows should be durable by default, though, so it is more the rule than the exception.

Do they get the same backlash if they went with a source available license similar to MongoDB or Elastic?

Until they solve the ~250ms latency, which would require replacing bluetooth with a lower latency option, I'm not interested.

This screw up ended up costing id Software millions in sales. With the Doom franchise they only included the first episode in the shareware version. But to save a buck I guess they decided this was better than mailing a second CD with the full game on it. Then doubling down on that greed by putting their entire game library on the disc. This is right about the time John Romero and John Carmack parted ways, can't help but wonder if this debacle played a role. And by all accounts Quake's development was painful, so imagine this happens after going through hell getting a game out the door.

Agree. I've been delving deep into Rust for some personal projects, and while there are some sharp edges (that likely won't go away) the tooling, ecosystem and general ergonomics more than make up for it. Hoping I'm not in the minority of relative newcomers and that the language continues to thrive.
