codespan VS Benthos

Having good error messages is one of the important priorities for me in my compiler, so I made the commitment early and am using codespan[0] to report the errors, which is going well so far.

0: https://github.com/brendanzab/codespan

There's https://github.com/brendanzab/codespan as well, and a number linked from their pages.

Working in a GENERAL relational language (ie: not just a query one, like SQL, but general to make full apps, like python/delphi/c# + linq):

https://tablam.org

that is my attempt to resurrect the spirit of the FoxPro/dbase kind of tools.

Is on Rust, and is also my way to sharp my skills on it.

Now, I'm in the process of improve the parsing to be robust like in Rust, so i can show good error messages:

and also, hopefully, implement a solid type inference that work fine with the challenge of infer joins like "customer CROSS JOIN address".

The idea, long-term, is create a tool alike MS Access/FoxPro+Excel that I think could be great for a lot of companies (that are using stuff like "BigData" tools -like hadoop- when them are struggling with more fundamental issues!) and improve the condition of make business apps/analysis.

I already hear some interest when the vision is described in full, and I certain any company that use Excel/Access to deal with data and/or make business apps is anemically served by it.

The alternatives now are only for the cloud, and I instead wanna a local-first/on-premise offering...

Nice error messages (for YOUR lang) https://github.com/brendanzab/codespan or https://docs.rs/ariadne/0.1.3/ariadne/

I’ve used https://www.benthos.dev/ and it’s really easy and well implemented. The author is also very responsive

Looks cool. What is the difference between this tools and benthos (https://www.benthos.dev/)?

You might want to gradually replace that one with https://github.com/twmb/franz-go because Shopify is looking to find a new owner for Sarama and, until or if they do, it seems to be falling behind with maintenance: https://github.com/Shopify/sarama/issues/2461 For example, they still haven’t addressed this breaking change https://github.com/Shopify/sarama/issues/2358. franz-go has worked well so far in Benthos https://github.com/benthosdev/benthos/tree/main/internal/impl/kafka and it will likely end up as the only implementation once the Sarama-based one will be deprecated

I upload a mix of code reviews and live streams on https://www.youtube.com/@Jeffail, mostly building https://www.benthos.dev out in the open so the content ranges from beginner friendly stuff to more advanced things like stream processing, parser combinators, etc.
