In praise of kafka

Messaging is great because it reduces coupling.

Kakfa does it even better.

A message consumer can come up and work just fine after being down all week.

Cool unhyped languages

Pony - the best of low level and high level
Zig - more pragmatic than c
Lamdu - types are friendly and easy
Crema - program without turing completeness
