   MDX and Svelte in Markdown etc are definitely cool, but unfortunately they are not at all adequate for the job. You can not define a new component in MDX/MDSVEX, only use existing Svelte/React components in prose. Further what abo

   This proposal addresses a problem that I have faced all the time. I used to use Golang before Rust, Golang uses `context` package for this, and I have created `In` objects to emulate context. Consider this code[1], I pass it all over the pl

    FTD is XML with neater (hopefully) syntax. XML got a lot of things right, XML has XSD for rich data schema definition, Unlike JSON/YML. FTD too has first class data modelling capabilities, you can specify schema for a "record&quot

    I loved erlang. I still do. To me it is the most well designed language/library set for distributed programming. I love their approach about error handling. But I find golang much more accessible. Erlang does not scale down, for simple
