In a number of languages with a number of editors / editor plugins, with a code file open I can easily keep open in parallel a REPL window/tab that has the code file (and libs/pkgs/modules that it imports) loaded in inte

Never looked into Go? When I did, I felt instantly transported into the Pascal Kind of Flow! In fact ever since I call it the lovechild (or offspring anyway) between C and Pascal, but one's that ready to party like it's the 2010s

If for some reason you actually need to understand 30kloc in 17 files in any meaningfully substantial fashion, I posit this will always require some time investment on your part. (Such as outcommenting most of `main` / a module, then

I'd hope Eta "just" focuses on compiling GHC's core (not Core) intermediate-representation STG (or C--) into Java bytecode: then, no need to forever catch up re-implementing the ever-evolving language extensions, plus

Purism sounds nice in theory, but in practice I have yet to come across a project where at some point an `!important` (or 2) NOT becomes necessary, where it then NOT seems utterly acceptable and in fact fully in line with "the proper n
