I love org mode for writing and that side of org is brilliant. It’s not just a task manager. In fact I’d love just a note taking tool that doesn’t care as much about tasks but focuses on a outstanding org mode note taking experience on mobile.

The complexity is exactly is issue. So while it’s possible to implement on the .net runtime without type erasure, it’s hard.

Plus the only reason type erasure is bad is if you want reflection. Which in FP languages with a solid type system isnt idiomatic and safe anyway. Edit: value types are one other reason for not using erasure but Can be done other ways

Disagree. Type erasure is actually one of th best possible decisions made by the java designers. Languages that have higher kinded types (Haskell, Scala)are virtually impossible to implement without type erasure. This is why the .net runtime doesn’t have languages with HKT

Is there a way to do XMonad style layouts with this system? Since moving to OSX, I've missed Xmonad badly. The big thing that has been lacking is the ability for newly opened windows to automatically be placed into a grid, according to the layout that is currently defined, and then have the ability to shuffle windows around within that layout.
