It is indeed a lot of work. All of my apps are only available on F-Droid now, after years of playing ball with Google Play. I wrote about my experience here:

What does the reach look like on F-droid?

I built my new site (https://varun.ch) using 11ty, because they seem to commit to never making breaking API changes. They have a YouTube video where they build a pre 1.0 project in 2.0. https://youtu.be/bPtQmsjXMuo

This is JavaScript, npm rot is a huge problem in its ecosystem.

I use Hugo for my site, and the willingness to break the API despite the age of the project is definitely my least favorite feature. So I’m running a years-old version because I don’t do anything interesting with formatting.

I don't know why Hugo has no migration til like Go to deal with this.

https://gohugo.io/ is pretty good. Here's a discussion about migrating website from WordPress to Hugo. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41377331

I never get this desire for micro services. You IDE can help if there are 500 functions, but nothing would help you if you have 500 micro services. Almost no one fully understands such a system. Is is hard to argue who parts of code are unused. And large scale refactoring is impossible.

The upside seems to be some mythical infinite scalability which will collapse under such positive feedback loops.

The thesis of the article appears to be

> However, one major issue holds it back - the binding layer between engine code and gameplay code is structurally built to be slow in ways which are very hard to fix without tearing everything down and rebuilding the entire API from scratch.

If there is one thing I've learned from the prevalence of Java, or JavaScript, is that performance problems will get sorted out fairly quickly if people start flocking to a tool.

Javascript still remains slow. Java is fast enough that it doesn't matter. However, no one will use Java to build Linux kernel.

The ergonomics of checked exceptions may be debatable but compared to golangs explicit error handling at essentially each function call is definitely worse.

guideamigo_com · 2 years ago

I don't mind Go's errors. I do mind the complete lack of hierarchy in that. Java's exceptions are hierarchical. I can create an exception that specializes from `IOException` and that I feel is really powerful. Go added this half-baked and much later. So, most FOSS libraries don't support it yet.

We have an app that also needs to be able to run on Android, so we are held back by the shitty Java Google implements for Android.

You can use [limited] Java 17 with Google's Android. The compiler converts Java 17 -> Java 8 bytecode.
