Someone explain me the point of edge functions
>runtime for retards
>>107182735I think the entire point of them is to hook you into a company's platform with a promise of so many free edge functions per month, then when you want to scale, it's very impractical to move away from that platform, because you've written your functions specifically for that platform. So either you pay their extortionate prices to scale up, or you rewrite your backend to become platform-agnostic.So basically I don't think they're worth the effort. I'd rather write a traditional back-end which is platform-agnostic and can be deployed on a PaaS like Heroku, or on a VPS, or on dedicated servers (if my shitty projects ever reach that scale, which they won't).

>>107183364What's the point of Python now that the JS/TS ecosystem is so well-developed? Python is just a weird language with weird syntax where white space is part of the syntax for whatever reason
>>107184506Python still sees widespread use in data science and machine learning. There's a lot of inertia there that would need to be overcome for ML people to switch to JS
>>107185793Fair. Maybe I should learn more about that stuff. At the moment I'm making a website which uses Google's AI API but it would cool to know more about how AI actually works
