Not sure what you mean, Nim doesn’t allow tabs so that wouldn’t work

Yes, but I think they are emphasising that only a promise will be returned. Any further type information is not given

The code is also compiled to native code, but it's written declaratively. It's not for everyone, but it's not the same as Electron. Even still you have the option to use the traditional imperative API.

Typescript is great at catching bugs which would trickle down to the end user

They are using the Monaco editor component of VSCode, not forking it

UI themes, and a much more cohesive default theme

Atom: the bloat of an IDE with the features of a text editor. At least there are plugins :/

They try, but there is not really predictable and simple way to select those fonts in CSS. I've had times when Courier was used on Linux because the MS fonts we installed.

I would prefer they just do font-family: monospace

Admiring the optimism but having an untested reimplementation of node would make people a lot less confident in using the project

Doesn't headless mode just mean rendering to a bitmap instead of a window?

As others speculated I meant parentheses around the condition - my mistake, I should have qualified

What's the argument for required brackets around if (conditions) and switch (conditions)? To me they seem redundant.

As a side point, I hope switch statements are less like C and more like Rust (Rust happens to have better looking syntax, not just because its Rust):

    match <identifier> {
        <val> => {
            //
        }
    
        ..
    }

C-style always creates confusion on how to indent blocks following case statements

Still does not allow tabs for indentation - same problem as `make` but inverted
