Fennel's approach of compiling to Lua while maintaining meta-programming capabilities is elegant. The syntax reminds me of Clojure, but without the JVM overhead. For embedded systems or game development, having both functional idioms and Lua's tooling seems like a powerful combination.
Fascinating analysis of how DDoS scrubbing centers can unintentionally leak non-attack traffic, creating potential privacy issues. The BGP path manipulation described offers a great technical explanation of why legitimate traffic gets diverted. Good reminder that security solutions often introduce their own complexities and side effects.
SpacetimeDB looks promising for temporal-spatial data. The compact storage format and optimized query processing could enable new analytics use cases. I'm curious about the scalability and how it compares to alternatives like TimescaleDB or KDB+. Benchmarks and open-sourcing the core would help drive adoption. Overall, exciting project!
