WHY YOU DON'T WRITE EVERYTHING IN GOLANG?
Recently a potential client asked me why I advise to write their app in Node.JS. Why not Golang? While gathering information about different technologies the client got an impression that Golang would be the best choice for their project. Here I’ll give a couple of reasons why sometimes we choose different technologies for the task.
I AM HAPPY MICROSOFT REWRITES TS IN GO
Microsoft is rewriting TypeScript in Golang [&]. This is the best news so far this year. Another company will contribute to Go ecosystem, and I like that it’s Microsoft - I am happy.
WHAT AN OS WITHOUT APPS REALLY MEANS?
An Operation System Without Apps is a concept that people can’t wrap thier heads around when I first mention it. Patially because it is contradictory to the definition of OS hence confusing, but no one named this concept better. As confusing as it may be it only means an approach to the interface design and it doen’t mean that the system has no apps.
A SHORT UPDATE ON VSKI - DITCHING FLUTTER
I’ve spent most of my free time past month on a passion project. Re-imagining intefaces and drafting the architecture. My first goal is to create a new UI toolkit which would make it possible to interract with AI powered systems in an effective way, but with that I don’t want to break well known user experience. A challenging task but I think it’s possible.
MY PROBLEM WITH CURRENT STATE OF AI
Personally I don’t like the way most companies imagine what AI should be. For some time I didn’t have anything constructive to say on the matter, because either I didn’t care or couldn’t pick a key argument among all the things I don’t like. And I wouldn’t say I have anything constructive now, but here are my thoughts that should answer why I am usually negative when talking about AI-hype.
MY CURRENT PROJECT - VSKI
Last year I’ve had a lot of experiments with different technologies and learned a lot. I call 2024 “A year of R&D”. All my work in the past year laid ground for the project I am working on right now: VSKI (vi-ski) - interactive distilling system. Here I want to explain the idea behind VSKI in essence, while not leaking important details before the MVP is ready.
WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL?
First thing I usually ask about new ideas is “What is the ultimate goal?” repharasing this question for a paticular case. The “ultimate goal” in my understanding is a clear defenition of the benefits.
WHERE IS THE MONEY IN GENERATIVE AI?
In the disscussions over AI hype last couple years or so, often the question pops up - “Where is the money in generative AI?”. Because the most of my friends and collegues are engineers, they try to look at this technology through the prism of some useful applcation and usually complaining about how undercooked this technology at the present and genuinely believing in the investors’ “stupidity”.
MY PLANS FOR 2025
The past year has been a mix of challenges, lessons, and hard choices for almost every aspect of my life. A lot happend. I moved to another country, met new friends and new collegues, started new projects. In short, the phrase “making a fresh start” describes my 2024 in every possible meaning. Now I want to reflect and talk about my plans for coming 2025.
I AM USING VLANG IN MY NEXT PROJECTS
In the recent decade a new programming language appears at least every six month, so usually I skip such news automatically considering that we already have quite a zoo of languages for any purpose (or lack of). From my perspective current state of the market is simple: there is one true general purpose language - C, and a few of industry specific defaults like JS, Python, Java, Go, etc. So first time I’ve heard about the Vlang I dissmised it, but when someone said that “V is actual C” it got my interest..
