The Cavern Of Cobol is an active place at the Something Awful forums, I’ve found it a great resource.

Scala is the the first I used and I like it a lot. If I had more time I’d love to give ocaml a decent try but I don’t think I can get into it these days.

I remember playing around with this, never went deep with it but appreciate the project. I really wish more languages had alternative syntax options like this. I’ll give Hy another shot this weekend.

I am still confused how to understand the results about programming language. Desired vs Admired? One means you use it, one means you want to?

Co-recursive is excellent, I enjoy it a lot

I didn’t see the diff command last time, thanks for that. It still feels like a miss for fossil to host a web view and forum but not a pull request-like section.

I checked out fossil once and looks like it doesn’t have an equivalent to Pull Request so I moved on. It wasn’t clear how anyone could begin to be a contributor to a project if I host on fossil.

Execute program is another online learning tool that teaches SQL. I have used it for typescript lessons and like it a lot.

OpenAPI is pretty great. At my last job, we had a code generator to build part of the backend based on OpenAPI spec file, so we always knew the spec was accurate, couldn’t have routes or parameters that weren’t in the spec.

OpenAPI has been around for donkeys years

Lol wut

I like DHH, I’m glad the less-used tools have an advocate in him. There is a trend to winner-takes-all in software, it’s great when other systems/approaches are championed. I think DHH did a good job of explaining why moving out of the cloud worked for his situation and not others. I think he did a worse job explaining why moving to JS and away from TS is good for him. But he was upfront that it’s mostly a personal/subjective choice. He could have handled the transition better, but I think the destination they got to was fine.

There’s so many providers, and they don’t always make it clear when they change hardware. Amazon AWS feels pretty open about it, they are good. I doubt the resource you are looking for will ever exist. You won’t be able to make a purchase decision with all the info you want.

Having said that, you did bring a ton of resources together in this post, thank you for that!

I like this idea. I’ve been self hosting using A VPS cloud server, but this is a great reason to do something in my home.

I think https://masto.host/ offers what you want, you can pay to host mastodon. I haven’t seen the same for Lemmy.
