If you mean "changing the rules a few hours / days before they should be applied", Chile (again) did this a few years / decades ago, and it wreaked havoc: all scheduled meetings were off by one or two hours, you could not rely on your calendar, etc.
Plenty of stupidity going around in Chile / South America, rest assured.
Can you add methods to any type? There is an example of adding a method to a builtin type (string) -- can you add also add a method to a union type?
Any plans to add some sort of enum type? If yes, will it be possible to add methods to enums?
How do you support (or intend to support) Unicode? It says "Strings use ASCII encoding" -- why not UTF8?
The example with a timeout channel does not show how / when the timeout will be triggered. Is this a special kind of channel?
It says "Packages will be synchronized to the $HOME/.nature/package directory" -- will this respect the XDG standard directory structure, which defaults to $HOME/{.cache,.local,.config}?
> Fred Brooks, in Chapter 9 of The Mythical Man-Month, said this: Show me your flowchart and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your tables, and I won't usually need your flowchart; it'll be obvious. That was in 1975. Eric Raymond, in The Cathedral and the Bazaar, paraphrased Brooks' remark into more modern language: Show me your code and conceal your data structures, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your data structures, and I won't usually need your code; it'll be obvious.
