No, I am right, because I didn't say Apache Groovy didn't have lambdas, I said it still didn't have the Java 8 lambda syntax in response to the comment that Groovy was so "ruthlessly" Java-syntax compatible. So you are wrong about me being wrong.

A lot of countries with dictatorship regimes are natural gas exporters. Avoiding natural gas usage makes the world a better place. So that's a right decision.
Having no threads is exactly what makes Redis so convenient in deploying it to clusters: you have a node, and the node is a single process. It's like a building block.
Also, Redis source code is so much cleaner than memcached!
And yet it works incredibly well and is indispensable for many organizations.
It's almost like less sometimes really is more, and that prioritizing simplicity of implementation does more than just make code maintainable--holding that value as a developer can "leak" all the way up to the reliability of your software, in the best possible way.
There are a lot of people, myself included, who just want to be able to use websites. I am trying to avoid two major things when I block advertisements online:
1. Dangerous ads - Cryptominers, viruses/whatever, and the like.
2. Wasteful resource usage - I also block most scripts and unneeded fonts because the value to me of downloading all these add-ons is very low compared to the cost to me through network congestion and possible vulnerabilities.
I pay to support content creators I get value from, and if more creators followed a reasonable, proportional, fee I would support more.
