What Colour is Your Function? Red vs Blue
What colour is your function? In software we are often face with dichotomies in our design decisions. Each trade-off has costs and benefits. Do you chose mutable vs Immutable, blocking vs futures, single vs multi-threaded. How do we reason about the trade-offs we make? Starting from a blog post by Bob Nystrom we explore the rabbitholes and their effect on writing performant, reliable, maintainable code. - Will you stay in wonderland and see how deep the rabbithole goes?
