   Thanks, it's all good. :) Aside from the input types, what other pain points are you seeing?

   My response was solely critiquing an exchange which ended up looking like: if (requestFeature(x)) { complain(); } else { complain(); } That flow doesn't get anyone to a better place, but there are tons of ways to refactor it

   You asked us to implement X. We confirmed that we've begun work on implementing X and provided a way you can follow the progress. You then chose to respond with sarcasm and disdain. What productive outcome could we possibly reach from

   In general, you're unlikely to need them. Instead of cobbling together disparate libraries for a virtual dom (React), state (Redux), immutability (Immutable.js), and types (Flow / TypeScript), the entire language and its core libr

   Ah, I read that you did "cave diving" not "caving" -- that explains it :) That does indeed look like a really fun system, thanks for sharing.

    I don't think we're exposing native process semantics to WebExtensions, but the webRequest API can intercept and modify any request initiated by web content. If this use case is important to you, please file a bug explaining your

    In this case, "need" refers to the "if (x === undefined) { x = y }" pattern. Which is absolutely a need when implementing functions with variable arity. If I need that pattern, I'd rather write it declaratively than
