  • I think you are highlighting an important point that are missed by other commenters emphasizing the developer. I prefer GPL over MIT license. But this is a possible fallback if Redis decides to change its licensing (like several others did).

    I think these kind of products have strategic significance for MS for their Azure offering. They are probably preparing to offer this there (in addition to and as an alternative to Redis). So, it makes sense for Microsoft to release this with an OSS license (otherwise no one will adopt it).





  • I mainly develop in C#, and I agree that having to write so much boiler plate for type safety is really boring. C# is not perfect either (it doesn’t have discriminated unions, etc.) but at least it gives type safety out of the box.

    However, in general, I think enums are widely misused. I see a lot of cases where they should have been classes with a factory, but ended up being enums with a lot of static functions and switch statements.

    I know you said “self hosted”, but if you are interested in an Android app, Google Play Books does most of what you want, I think. You can upload your books, and read them on any device (with offline capabilities). But this is the Self Hosted community, so I will show myself out.
