dapr
Emphasis on multiple languages
These samples tend to emphasize the fact that dapr is multi-language neutral and include multiple languages in the sample.
The distributed calculator requires downloading and installing multiple languages just to get going. I see this as a potential barrier.
Would there be a chance of having distributed calculator samples that are only one language as well as the one that shows all the languages? This way we can chose which one resonates more - one that emphasizes that using HTTP and gRPC provides language disintermediation and one that makes it easy for someone who only uses one language and would like a simplified sample.
I agree with this. The samples are less useful to me because I want to focus on .Net and don't care about outher languages right now.
Hey @markgar and @ecw1973 there is an approved proposal lead by @greenie-msft to create a new batch of quickstarts that will be completed for each of the languages (vs. one sample mixing and matching, or being random). There is a plan for these to be 2+ services in each to show interactions. Please see more in the STC meeting minutes here: https://github.com/dapr/community/issues/120
Would that start to address the issue? Is there something about distributed calculator that is special, just so I understand?
For me, yes. I wanted a quickstart where I didn't need to know 3 languages. I'm a dotnet dev and I don't really want to have to get node or rust or python working just to get going with a complete quickstart.
@paulyuk, I know that multi language is a really interesting capability of dapr, but I don't think most enterprises come to dapr for this reason. So having both kinds of quickstarts will be beneficial.
