Hey and sorry for replying with so much delay. I keep forgetting HN won't send me mobile notifications for replies.

Truth be told, I am not sure how well will I cope. I am good, I have experience, I have been doing lots of quality repairs in my life before. But you know what? At certain point you don't think it's worth your time and energy. That's the real enemy here -- demotivation.

I spent humongous amounts of time in the object-oriented land. I think I'll just hop to the functional programming world -- isolated functions, functions as first-class citizens, immutability (hell yes!), no shared shate (oh God please, I want that!), and goodbye side effects. At least I hope so. It might just be another shiny thing I'll be pursuing and won't be much better. We'll see.

But you know what? I prefer working hard to build things from the ground up in a new and much better language and ecosystem than to spend my life trying to demystify somebody's strongly opinionated framework which doesn't cover even 40% of what I need in my project.
