#SilverBullet is becoming more and more of a fully featured programming platform.
It already had its own programming language (Space #lua) for a while. Infrastructure wise there is a data store (with query language), event bus, message queue and I’m currently designing a service discovery and […]

How it feels to work in a busy monolith repo.

and have 2 and 2076332 different commits each
