More should be written/discussed about the serverless application repository. It has never been of particular interest to me, and I find @dzimine very convincing in his explanation of why it likely will never be: functions aren’t actually reusable in the way libraries/APIs are.

I'd love to hear more. The public func repository has been tried soo many times both pre and post FaaS. Part of me wants to think one day it will happen, the other part thinks it never will.

My take on describing why it will never take off: leveraging others’ code is nothing without developers actively maintaining it. We have two models that work for this: open source library (GitHub, issues, tests, samples, package mgmt) and API-based service (docs)

I like this take. It speaks to the infra/app code divide. We haven't bridged that yet. I think it comes after serverless :)

also pure funcs are rarely interesting. So if you take on a func it prob means you are taking on both application code (libs) and infra (api) dependencies. difficult to do at the same time.
