inspirations.

why Go not TS/JS?

• TypeScript and JavaScripts are amazing, and the fact that web elements for Iris will use React and Next.js, refers to here
• Why Go then? Go is an awesome language with its interface and concurrency I just want to build a bot in Go 😄
• Also, front-facing API will be written in Rust as a way to learn the language.

why iris when we already had yagpdb?

• yagpdb are pretty clunky and bloated in the sense that the maintainer uses a lot of boilerplate, whereas iris goals are to stay minimal and bloat-free as possible
• yagpdb structures are pretty messy and harder for development and thus iris aims to make it more developer-friendly as well as user-friendly
• iris got a lot of inspirations from yagpdb but takes a more lightweight approaches considering structures and deployments, refers to here for more details
• iris is pretty much WIP so any PR and help are appreciated
