For XMPP, have you looked into using snikket? It does most things you’d want out of the box without having to setup extensions yourself.
I got into ocaml recently. I love it. I honestly don’t see issues with the syntax, maybe because I haven’t used it enough.
Which sites or apps does it not pop up? It is rare for it not to pop up for me.
Here is a docker compose: https://snikket.org/service/resources/docker-compose.yml
You only two configuration options in the config file: domain and email.
I’ve been wanting to do this exact thing. I already have wireguard setup. Please update us if you do this.
This makes matrix even less attractive to me lol. But you’re right, that’s a very good point.
cumbersome to parse
Parsers have already existed for so long in every major language. Why need to worry about parsing?
And why need to worry about transports working differently if they achieve the same thing? They seem similarly convenient if I understood what you said correctly
Why is JSON better than XML? It’s more modern, sure, but from technical perspective it is not objectively better right? Not something worth switching protocols for.
You mention XMPP has transports as opposed to Matrix bridges. I thought they give you roughly the same outcome. What’s the difference?
From a quick look into XMPP’s clients for android, they seem nice and some have modern features too.
Is there any technical limitation that would prevent xmpp client from having a WhatsApp-like UI?? WhatsApp started out with XMPP and probably still uses a variant of it. If anything, I’d imagine its harder with matrix given the complexity of the protocol.
Makes sense, but to me newness alone is not a benefit. In fact, it is a bit of a disadvantage. XMPP has more clients for example, and they are more mature.
It uses the arkenfox thingie. It doesn’t block JS, but it does block a lot of things and possibly certain JS features.
Doesn’t work on Mull browser (hardened Firefox for android) :(
I’m aware of tails, but I am not confident it qualifies. With Tails, I still connect through my own Internet connection, presumably. I know using tor obfuscates this, but is it to the degree of, say, Monero?
Moreover, I am still at the mercy of the platform I use. Most of them require email or phone verification, and creating an account with lots of data sent over from the clients.
Tails is a necessary component, but the platform is also important.
Any examples other than ocaml? From my understanding, ocaml’s type strength may only be found in a couple other languages. Haskell, scala, and maybe Rust. Any others?
Comparing cost to AWS Aurora is unfair. Give us the self host price, and compare to that.
Also, they should have tried Scylla or Cassandra. It’s very scalable and handles a lot of writes.
I won’t remember everything, but one very important things comes to mind:
in Typescript, it is very difficult to assert on a type (let me know if you’re not familiar with what I mean by this and I can explain further). In OCaml, this is trivial using pattern matching.
Why would you need that? The idea of a type system is it doesn’t let you apply a function on a structure without the structure being of the right type. But the lack of type assertion in TS makes people follow hacky workarounds, which defeat the purpose of type system.
There are a couple of other things, like immutable types by default, automatic tail call optimization, functors enabling higher kinded types, etc.
Also in ocaml, you don’t have to annotate any types on any variable or parameter, and you’ll still get full type protection.
