   That doesn't hold up with browserify => webpack though. Webpack came after Browserify, offered more features, but it was a pain to configure and had no sane defaults. It was still widely adopted and was preferred over the older, muc

    Thanks for the correction! Is it more accurate to say that in Xi, CRDTs ended up leaking too much complexity for the purpose of synchronizing state between async components of the editor (like plugins) that run on the same machine, but not

    Xi experimented with using CRDTs to merge state changes produced by plugins running asynchronously on different threads, but they decided that it was a failed experiment.

    I agree with with all those requirements except for the first one. I think there should be a way to export to files/directories, but using files/directories as the primary persistence mechanism is inherently limiting: - Editing

    For me the scale tips heavily towards type safety and tooling of TypeScript. Then again, I wish we didn't have to choose.

    I'm curious (genuinely) how you define thinking in a way that it's unaffected by the dominant mediums of communication and culture. Maybe you can recommend some reading material?

    A quick read to see how mediums and tech fundamentally affect "thought" is Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death".

    They explained the trade-offs in the original blog post. They had considered this class of security holes and had a contingency plan in case one would be detected. They simply executed that plan. I'd say they handled it very well.
