Donkey: a Highly-Performant HTTP Stack for Clojure
Donkey is the product of the quest for a highly performant Clojure HTTP stack aimed to scale at the rapid pace of growth we have been experiencing at AppsFlyer, and save us computing costs. In this article, we’ll briefly outline the use-case for a library like Donkey and present our benchmarks. Finally, we will discuss Clojure and immutability, and some of our design decisions.

Go Language at 13 Years: Ecosystem, Evolution, and Future in Conversation with Steve Francia
Go was started more than a decade ago in the Engineering department at Google. It was designed with the purpose of providing an easy-to-learn programming language that would allow to develop Google's systems at the next level. In the past decade, the language became more and more stable, currently being used for implementing some of the most popular tools on the web (Kubernetes, Terraform etc.).

Do You Think Like a Lawyer, a Scientist, or an Engineer?
Law, science, and engineering offer three distinct approaches to logical thinking. Each is important in different circumstances, and in practice, we can use all three. How much understanding and control do you have of a situation? Do you simply need to follow the rules? Are you operating in a world of uncertainty and volatility? Or are you building and defining the rules as you go along?

Server-Side Wasm - Q&A with Michael Yuan, Second State CEO
WebAssembly can be used server-side to provide the performance required by use cases such as blockchains and edge AI services. Non-standard extensions may address those use cases today, possibly weakening WebAssembly portability benefits. The gathered experience may however provide important inputs to current and future WebAssembly proposals.
