But my guess is we'll be seeing a lot more
Go in the coming years. Built a small dice project in that handling 10.000 rolls in about 500ms.
10K bets in 500ms?.. incredible. I really wonder how did you achieve that? I mean, there are stuffs like calculating lucky number, inserting to DB, broadcasting to user again etc..
Hehe, I should have mentioned it only returned the profit/loss of those rolls combined to the user. It did simulate (so calculate the lucky number etc) and insert 10.000 rolls in the DB at once though, so with a single query, not repeating an insert query 10.000 times. It also updated the user balance at once too after all the rolls were done.
I bet this will be fast in other languages too.
