One obscure issue that ends with the comment "It's slow but I don't think it's the crippling bug I first thought it was." hardly supports a claim that " Angular4 suffers from the same slow down/performance problems as Angular 1.x."

> 17.an amazing IDE - it has a tool to debug macros!

This may be true for an experienced user, but I've mainly used VS Code/Atom/Sublime etc, and I did not enjoy DrRacket -- I'm assuming that's what you're talking about. Some of the dropdown menus didn't render for me, and while this may sound stupid, I had the damnedest time figuring out that half my screen was a REPL and the other half a file.

a -> m b

>>=

What is the third function? Did I misunderstand you?

I'll be damned if I'm going to let my boss tell me if I can write a WordPress plugin on my own time.
