Definitely JS if you want to also have a website. Use electron to turn your website into an executable for the desktop. Python+qt is ok for Desktop apps, but does not work for a website.
Languages that compile to wasm would also be an option, (e.g. https://egui.rs with rust), but as far as i am aware none of the languages you’ve listed are in that set. (Only go would even be a contender between python, ruby, js and go)
Alternatively the y axis could be “blog posts not about …”
Yes, but devil’s advocate: you also need a program to text files, needing a program to read sqlite files is not worse.
I am confused by your requirements. Why do you need to store your data as json or XML? Would it suit your requirements to read in text files, convert to sqlite for processing and then save as a text file? What do you gain by being able to edit the files in a text editor, as opposed to a table editor? Do you maybe just need a config file (e.g. in toml format) and don’t actually do much data processing?
It depends entirely on how you want to work with the data.
Have you considered sqlite? The database is just a single file, which gives you all the advantages of a text file (easy backup, sharing, easy editing via sqlite browser) while also providing the benefits of SQL when operating on the data (join, etc).
You’d think so, but the title has a space there!
Ok, but if it’s not bound to something like an official domain name how can you be sure the person who signed their posts as president of the EU (or whatever the official title is) to actually be that person is real life?
This assumes that OP actually meant git…
I fear they may have had no idea what the distinction between git and GitHub is and intended to say GitHub.
What about cargo doc? With lynx if you demand terminal exclusive usage.
Yes. That’s what I meant.
Though I heavily expect the rust compiler to produce identical assembly for both types of iteration.
It would be interesting to see if an iterator instead of a manual for loop would increase the performance of the base case.
My guess is not, because the compiler should know they are equivalent, but would be interesting to check anyway.
REST server and ORM python code
Fair enough, that can be achieved with pure python.

A new database specifically designed for financial transactions.
I’m not an expert on finance software, so I can’t critically assert how good they really are. But they claim much much higher throughput than traditional databases, higher fault tolerance, self healing networks if several replicas are running, etc.
From a purely technical standpoint it’s interesting for being written in zig. Because the database scope is so narrow they know exactly how much memory they will need on startup and just allocate all required memory on startup and never allocate more, nor free the aquired memory.
They never would have been able to get the same performance from any solution that incorporates a general purpose database.
Their requirements/explicitly-not-required-ments include that it’s fine to drop 1s of data. That would be an insane proposition for any other database. Also their read/write rates and latency requirements are unusual to say the least.
It’s the same thing as tiger beetle. Ridiculously narrow domains allow for ridiculous performance improvements compared to of-the-shelf solutions.
The example is wrong, because they used 1.0.
But in general x-x does not have to equal 0, that is true. I’m pretty sure Nan and infinity would yield not 0.0, but Nan instead.
And if you reach x with two different calculations, e.g. x1 = a - b - c and x2 = a - c - b it is certainly not guaranteed that x1 - x2 == 0.0
Are you sure? I’ve never seen that inequality before.
Edit: and at least python agrees with me
print(0.1 + 0.2) # 0.300...0004
print(1.0-1.0) # 0.0
Yes, python is between java (long compiles, faster execution) and perl (no compiles, slower execution). No, it won’t change that, because it’s pretty successful the way it is now.
And yes, cffi is pretty dang sweet. Tons of scientific research runs on Numpy and pandas.
My comment was not asking for clarification, I am contradicting your claim.
Granted, my experience is mostly limited to python and rust. But I find that in python you reach the end of “jump to definition” much much sooner. Fundamental core libraries of Python are written in C, simply because the performance required cannot be reached with python alone. So after jumping two levels you are through the thin wrapper type and your compiler will give you an “I don’t know, it’s byte code”.
In Rust I have yet to encounter this. Byte code is rarely used as a dependency, because compiling whatever is needed is no issue - you’re compiling anyway - and actually can allow a few more optimizations to be performed.
Edit: since wasm is not yet wide spread, JavaScript may be the best language to dig deep into libraries.
In order to provide some contra to the other comments here
Have fun! Unless you have insane amounts of freetime you probably won’t finish it or get it to a state of solid usability. But maybe the journey is the goal and that doesn’t even matter.
Server’s down :(
