what language did your boss insist you shill on /g/ today, pajeet? java? C#?

Postgres? Not at all. SQL sucks as a language on its own, it sucks when you program against it from another language, and it's slow as shit when your db gets actually big, with no good method of parallelizing it overall.

This is getting closer to perfection, though.

>>62032927
no
it runs on the JVM

>>62032388

Meh, pretty difficult.

I love Scala and particularly many libs made in Scala, but it's not perfect.

There's a good reason why they're currently doing a major revision of it again.

Haskell is what a few poor men use. Maybe the only exception are a few stock trading systems.

Scala is in Fortune 500 companies and big websites.

Yup. "Only" gets eventual consistency, not immediate. Which, as it turns out, is enough for virtually anything.

And it's massively better regardless since you're not dealing with a shitty un-scaleable, slow database that is very awkward to program against because it's native language is shit, and the interface to the language you're actually using for programs (you'll essentially never do plain SQL since it's so shit) is interfacing with it in an usually fucking annoying way, even if xbox huge interface frameworks with their own caching and buffering and what not may lessen the issue a little.

It's a far better default than SQL bullshit for your homemade applications and CERN / eBay / Netflix ... alike. Even if there surely is SOME application where the cumbersome "ACID" SQL is a closer match.

>>62032388
Perfect implies that there is no more progress to be made. Most of everything posted here is still under active development.

The closest thing we have to perfect is stuff that will probably not change much. Commands like pwd, cd, echo, etc.

good one

I'm nominating rsync.

>Commands like pwd, cd, echo, etc.
pretty sure they will break in some corner case
It's just that unix standard userland tools are so shitty, nobody creates something new with them so there won't ever be input that breaks them.

Postgres really is great. The only fault is the design is so perfect, it can't scale out easily. SQL is a flawed mortal human interface, but the underlying relational algebra/calculus absolutely perfection.

>>62032960
Cassandra perfectly fills the scaleout gap of Postgres. Beautiful pairing.

>>62034267
Reading your post got me thinking, and I hit pic related. Pretty much all anvils look the same, because they are the absolute best way to manually work metal. A perfect historical design that's lasted centuries. Echo, cd, ls, grep, awk, etc. are from a similar kind of simple utility driven design.

>Linux
It's alright. Hardly perfect though.

>Docker
It sucks for most things people use it for. I'm partial to just using lxd raw myself, but other better competitors to Docker exist now too.

>Go
It's garbage. Use anything else, please.

>>62036602
Thanks I'll rewrite docker in electron.

Well, anvils got replaced by better tools, just like awk did.

>>62037220
Better tools like what? Million dollar specialized machines and hydraulic presses? If you're working a small custom metal forming job, the anvil is still what you use. If you're doing a one-off data extraction job, grep/sed/awk are still amazing tools that will get the job done quickly.
