Yes. That very example shows why itis hard to write fast program in Ruby. It's not even the interpreter (which is slow), but it's that Ruby is pure magic.

I was never able to understand what happens, when I looked at a particular snippet of Ruby code, if it was not me who wrote it. With Go, understanding others people code is a trivial task.

Monorepos are underappreciated.

- Dealing with cross-repositories changes is unproductive.

- Relying on external servers (git / npm / whatever) is risky.

- Visibility of what goes to your servers is never easy without having everything in one (well-organized) monorepo.

Monorepos solve it all, without adding any issues, if done right.

Essence: "A single associate assigned to a specific production line working between the production dates specified (12/14/2020 – 12/21/2020) was found to be using an improper torque wrench technique".

A case for using more robots, I guess.

Amazingly, the chat example still works:

What are the limits for the number of layers? 176 seems like a large enough number to believe that a few thousands are a possibility. Is the tech any close to a bottleneck, or they will keep growing them up?

That would be up to a specific OS to decide which guarantees on stack size limit would it like to provide. But I agree that it's a valid concern, and not all possible vDSO implementations are reasonable.

This is covered by their FAQ: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.html, Section 2.5 "Why not just use a subset of HTTP and HTML?"

What I meant is having markdown pieces within code regions in a text/gemini doc.

Imagine a code review tool that tries to show a diff as text/gemini.

Gemini is a cool piece of simple tech. I had a genuine pleasure reading the spec: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.html

I've entertained an idea to build a set of tools for contemporary development (version control, code review, CI, etc) which would only speak Gemini. That would be both the UI and the API.

Blockers came fast:

* no way to upload anything that exceeds 1024 bytes,

* escaping is subtly broken and so it would be impossible to review code written in Python or Markdown (triple quotes)

* No text editing capabilities, pretty much.

Which is fine: Gemini is great because it's restricted. It's nearly impossible to abuse. It will find its users, even if it would not be me.
