I really mean that, all those approaches using Perl, Java, .NET as stored procedures never gained much love among DBAs or the market in general, and I always favour approaches where I am not the only person on the building that can change something.
Also those approaches lack the end to end tooling, so you're basically back at printf debugging.
That’s a fair point though it’s more of a practical argument when the topic was more academic discussion with regards to language design.
But I do agree that practical considerations are important when making architectural decisions.
This is actually quite relevant to language design, too many people still get lost on discussing about grammar and language semantics, forgeting about everything else that is quite relevant why chose language A over language B.
Ironic you say that because usually we have the opposite positions with me asking you to have a little pragmatism.
I’ll save this post and share it with you the next time a Go thread comes up. ;)
