it was great, the overwhelming and delightful smell of old books!
this is intense synchronicity, I'm going there tonight. how does one gain entrance to the basement?
Scala can be made to scale, and you have access to a rich ecosystem of libraries, including the universe of java, which is nothing if not vast.
at the same time, the complexity of scala leads to idosyncratic implementation, especially from those new to the language, or at least new to complex type systems. this means you feel good at first, but as your project grows, building the arch two legs at a time from the ground up, sometimes they will not meet in the middle the way you expected. I don't think this is unique to scala, just worse than other choices. this effect also makes it much harder to collaborate with other devs on your project.
I find that Go is very performant and scales equally well. the overhead to run a Go executable is generally orders of magnitude less than the price of getring the jvm up and running. concurrency and parallelism are built in features of the language. I've saved eons of time by avoiding the crazy-making ways of Akka. and the language is small by design, hence the name, a game with few rules. all of this makes Go ideally suited for team projects.
what problem are you trying to solve, and are you ever planning on working with other people to solve that problem jointly?
I've been around since the 2021 hacker news influx. ar that time there were hundreds of pubkeys and thousands of events. I don't have a good sense of the history before that time, but since then there have been several bull runs. interesting point is that the unique pubkey count is in theory monotonically increasing. truly number go up technology. but in practice, some older ones are lost as relays crap out and occasionally lose content.
I'll go back through the archives and try to identify some of the pre-jack bull runs.

got it, was just curious if you did the imaging. without scale or context it's hard to tell.
I took my own, lol
what's the source of this pic?
just as bitcoin breaks fiat seigniorage by distributing purchasing power to holders, so nostr breaks the gains to network owners by distributing the network effect dividend to those who provide value to the network. this incentivizes all manner of innovation, possibly to the point that bootstrapping is PoW that eliminates the need for VC's
