No, they couldn't. There are too many places where the identation can go either way. Just because you paste a bunch of code after `then` in Python doesn't mean all of it goes into `then`.

Ramda is what you get when people try to zealously make Haskell out of Javascript. The same happens in many other languages where people try to force Haskell idioms into languages. Edit. For some reason people equate "functional"

Vista is 2006. In 2006 KDE was version 3.5 and hopelessly cosplaying a WinXP theme. KDE 4 from 2008 was hopelessly cosplaying MacOS. So yeah. Influences are very apparent.

Some of those are stretch to call pressure and innovation (CLI? It's old as computing). Some of those are perhaps coming from "pressure" from Linux (some tiling possibilities). Then you go on to confuse developer tools with d

Depends on the app. For example, I'm using Wikipedia's excellent native app even though Wikipedia is basically text-and-images only site. I could imagine a nice native app for Hacker News, too

I skimmed the post. Looks like asp.net approach of registering all dependencies up front (with various lifetimes/scopes). Still looks very verbose. But then asp.net has had a decade, and this project is new.
