Yeah, the js ecosystem does a lot of things right that are done poorly in other languages. Compare Yarn to pretty much any package manager besides Cargo, for instance. Another example is that Typescript integration into VSCode is top notch,

Why do you consider cheap solar not a breakthrough? If I 30-year mortgaged some solar cells, I could put them on my house right now and save $20 a month on net because of reduced electricity costs

I think part of the problem is that Haskell code can be very terse. When reading Python I expect to be able to easily understand what's going on in a 5 line function because the pythonic style limits what you can do in 5 lines. But in

I don't really understand the hacker love for IRC. It's always been hard to figure out what level of encryption you can expect, what plugins are supported on what clients, using it from multiple devices was never a good experience

Has GIMP meaningfully improved in the last 5 years? Every time I've had to use it I've been confused by the lack of features and strange UI.

The UI is definitely much nicer now, and the release candidates are very stable. If you'd like to learn, I'd definitely recommend sticking to 2.80 tutorials and not trying to understand 2.79 tutorials. This series [0] is a decent
