Dearest Hackers and Mind-Benders!
There’s magic in the air, and we know you feel it too! It could be the power of a half-million lines of Go, the sophistication of ViewfinderJS’ browser isolator, or Jolie’s service-first programming language… Or perhaps we’re in awe of the age of optimism in the technological community with ClickHouse. Maybe, just maybe, our delight is at the elegance and passion of personal Origami websites. In fact, I’d say it’s a combination of all of these things.
We say it’s a perfect issue blending sophisticated solutions with classic attitudes to problems. Come see for yourself – it’s the old world, meeting the new one!
Sincerely,
Dan ‘the Man’ Kowalski

But as it turns out – that’s a good thing! With such velocity, impeccable tooling, and astronomical production value, it’s an investment well-made. See how these brainiacs attempted Goliath using this programming language – to joyous fanfare!
