i remember very clearly when fiatjaf said he hated badger
that's because he didn't really understand how to use it, and the lack of e tags in the query funtion proves it. idk why also he thought that 32 bit serials would be enough, the badger standard serial is a 64 bit unsigned integer. FOR A REASON. 4 billion records may sound like a lot but i had 117k events in realy and that was 130mb, uncompressed. so realistically, 4 billion records 4 000 000 000 means 2 bn kilobytes which comes out to about 20tb
that's big but not by modern data center standards. 12tb raid arrays are already pretty common
why he hated badger i think was also because it didn't let him do goroutine spaghetti so easily
i remember when i went mad on goroutines, it was about 7 years ago now, i'd been working with Go on a full time basis for only a year at that point (previously mostly part time and learning for two years)
