Strange, I was able to sign up from my .family email

I really wish that Kestrel was available as a standalone library. Kind of like Jetty on the JVM.

Does that mean you are planning a specific editor for it?

Except that Google Drive just doesn't seem to work in Firefox.

Ada came out of the DOD so assuming it's an all-caps acronym makes a lot of sense. ;)

> I think that makes it the second (production-ready) language to have a primarily-structural type system

I assume we are talking about a static type system here? Many common "scripting" languages are structurally typed - what Python calls duck typing.

It is interesting to me that I read people criticizing Microsoft for their open sourcing code as doing it for marketing reasons---which seems accurate---but not criticizing Google or Apple or whoever else when they open source code.

What's the problem with the module system and functors?

Would you be willing to explain why explicit asynchrony is superior to implicit cooperative threading? Rather than simply engaging in more namecalling.

Ah, maybe, perhaps I am in the minority that liked the different operators for ints and floats. :D

> and not so good at floating point computations

What does this mean? I was under the impression the OCaml compiler did a decent number of floating point specific optimizations, like unboxed arrays and what not.

What is the problem with running Android here?

I don't think I'd call Rust user friendly.

No customization presents a simple tool that, hopefully, just works and can be accepted with its flaws and limitations. Once customization starts being added in, it's easier to see annoyances and "why isn't this feature present".
