mogge!!!

amused at how harsh the examples in this postgres vs mariadb article are https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/why-favor-postgresql-over-mariadb-mysql/#

And only yesterday I learnt about (iterate). So far I've just used (recur) based solutions everywhere.

How did the meetup go yesterday?

the article seems to pick on a few points where postgres does better than mysql/mariadb... which for some people if important and for some it isn't.

mind you, I think I'd use postgres most of the time as well.

I opt for postgres by default, but only because I know it better. Trying to form a proper argument now to support that.

I have tried MySQL after Postgres, because I was forced to, and was surprised it did not even do foreign key contraints well (unless you did extra work). It’s probably better now

but Postgres is the default for me as well

it is unfortunately still not better, the defaults are horrendously unsafe (even in MariaDB)

I weep everytime I remember I have to use it

the meetup was nice yesterday. We solved the last problem of 2015 of AoC and it was a good occasion to pair experienced clojure people with less-experienced. I think it was a nice combination of both 😄
