Doesn't that assume there are no intrinsic differences between single-threaded, multi-threaded and async execution? Plenty of code works fine single-threaded but breaks once it's run multi-threaded or async, and some works fine multi-threaded but breaks under async. With explicit async you have precise control over where you yield back to the event loop. With Zig's Io you don't get that unless you deliberately design for it, and at that point you've just got an implicitly coloured function.

What's wrong with top-level functions?

The underlying APIs are very similar, but you can't just install an extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Yet you confidently decided that they're not neurodivergent based on a comment?

So you recognise that today the pervert issue is real?

- macOS doesn't natively support "alt tab"-like behaviour (Cmd-Tab and Cmd+` are not analogous). You need something like alt-tab.app.

- You can't have the trackpad use "natural scrolling" and an external mouse use "normal scrolling" at the same time. The setting applies to all devices at once, so you need an external app (like LinearMouse) to use it.

That said, it's not like OSs and DEs don't have annoying things you need to fix (eg adding plugins to fix GNOME weirdness).

The character limit thing is real. Another problem is that even if you manage to address all of their points, they're not required to engage with that. They can just ask the LLM to write a basic response back and say they won't change the score.

This technique is so obvious to anyone who spends more than a minute with multiple choice tasks. It's wild they're claiming it as a feature.

This already happens. It's clear when a reviewer used an LLM, and it's very annoying for the authors that have to respond to what are usually low quality, superficial reviews.
