Interesting, I didn’t think of that. Growing up in Brazil, soccer was essentially the only sport boys played, at every opportunity.

In the absence of a ball, we’d dislodge the plastic ball from a roll on deodorant packaging and play with that, or a table football ball (which hurt a lot).

Then - in my late teens - studying in the UK football (soccer) was also predominant, played during breaks etc.

My point being that the US is along other large nations such as India, China which culturally favour other games/sports.

Contrast these nations with Uruguay for example, tiny country… has won the World Cup. I do not know this, but I’d hazard a guess that soccer is THE game in the streets of Uruguay.

Not American. Don’t live in US. The outside impression I get is that the game simply isn’t one of the kids’ default street sports.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. Can you share more on the bug you mentioned?

Co-author of the post here. Super happy to answer any questions, and to hear any thoughts people may have.

Cheers!

Not mentioned in the link above but something super cool with this release is that

> CPU quotas are now taken into account when deciding the default number of online schedulers. > Thus, automatically making Erlang a good citizen in container environments where quotas are applied, such as docker with the --cpus flag.

Super happy about this!

React is much more than just the V in MVC. It sells itself in that way for presenting the ability of being just exactly that. Thus, it can quite easily coexist with other frameworks. I actually think the established and well known selling points of React, like the Virtual DOM and "V in MVC" are just very nice side effects. The most important thing is the concepts and principles adopted from FRP, which in my opinion makes React a very powerful tool for JavaScript in general, a local optima of what can be done with JS right now.
