Why should I have to reach behind all the stuff on my kitchen counter to unplug these appliances when it would be so much easier to detach their power cables?
The creator of the Lone language built a memory allocator and garbage collector from scratch, learning and improving them over time, and eventually replaced pointers with indexes into a large array of values. This change allowed for efficient reallocation and resizing of the heap, and the use of Linux's mremap function to manage the heap's page-based structure.
Inspired by Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes the hard way, we're going to build a durable execution engine from scratch using Go and Postgres. Durable execution is a mechanism to incrementally checkpoint the state of a function as it makes progress, so that in the case of unexpected failure, the function can recover from where it left off. It's particularly relevant in newer stacks ...
