What the shit is there? Where is the most popular alternative, FoxitReader?

What about mixing frontend with backend?

That’s terrible.

It's not even a news site

Aren't all those languages, except Latin, are similar and are in fact arabic dialects?

Your net salary would be about 2900 euro monthly. Then you'd need to pay for an appartment, it would be at least 400-500 euro. Then you have to eat and sometimes buy new clothes since it's a cold country :) This would cost you maybe another 500 euro. So you could save about 2000 euro each month.

It's not DO. It's scaleway C1 arm server, even cheaper.

Golang produces native code with very good runtime with green threads which makes it very easy to do async programming and write efficient network code. But language won't save you from inefficient algorithms and dumb code of course.

> I love the idea of just serving a production HTTP API from a single go file.

You may have mistaken by single Go file in my service but it is actually a lot of code included spread across several libraries. In order to write this service I had to write my own open graph library, oembed library, html parsing library etc..

Usual traffic is 0-1 req/sec. Even now it is about 2-3 req/sec.

It is running for more than 2 years now, never failed :)

Golang is pretty stable.

Also the server is behind Cloudflare which caches responses and protects from DDoS, this can be another reason for low RPS to the server.

It's my own server and I'm the developer of the service ;) I pay $3/mo for hosting and $10/y for domain so it doesnt cost me much.

Regarding reliability: all the code is opensourced and if you want to use the service in production - you can run this on your own server.

Just enough for junior dev

!!! PHP MySQL extension doesn't support placeholders so everyone has to escape params before mysql_query and then put escaped params inside query string. Of course if there's used mysqli or PDO then need to use placeholders but in other case - there is actually no choice for developer. So I'd rather not call most of those - "vulnerabilities".

I'm not Lisp guy.. Please tell me what's that new syntax means in that context?

I see it as just new functions, not language extension.

If you use a product and never caught a bug there then it might be that you don't need new version of the product? In other case you'll be looking to fix that bug / contact product owner and you will eventually know if its abandoned / needs maintainer.
