You fool, humans are flexible enough to get used to slow experiences. Even if the average user needs to have discord, slack, 100 chrome tabs, word and any other electron app opened simultaneously, he will just go through his work. He may not be happy with it but still continue without changing his habits.

But to be honest, I goddamn hope you are right!

You can totally do that in nextcloud. All your file structure is keeped in the directory of nextcloud. The database only keep metadatas about what is shared and such things. One soft that strip the file structure and store it only as metadata in a database is Seafile. For your usecase, you can drop your files in your nextcould directory at the right place and invoke the command occ files:scan. It doesn’t watch for file changes, but you could certainly setup a Cron or a script to invoke it remotely.

Je suis content de cette décision (même si je suis sûr qu’il y a des choses à redire sur l’entité gouvernant ce protocole). Par contre, j’ai du mal à voir la cohérence de ceci avec le soutient de notre gouvernement avec Chat Control…

You can do FP in any programming languages, some are just focusing more on it than others. With OCaml, you will have what might be the best type system of the world. With Haskell, purity everywhere. With clojure, Lisp which is awesome. So Ruby should just fit, here are some resources to make you understand what is FP :

• What’s Functional Programming All About?
• Why Isn’t Functional Programming the Norm?

Another interesting resource is how John Carmack talk about potential use of purity (with haskell in its case) in event passing to entities in video game at the Quake Con 2013 (~17min 30). It made me better understand how pure and impure code should coexist.
