You still haven't named a single Racket "darling" that needs to be killed off, nor suggested any changes to make it "stupider". Yes, DrRacket is the developer-suggested editor, but VS Code, Atom, Emacs, Vim, and Sub

If you're willing to exclude D because it "lacks momentum", Go because you'd "like to avoid it", and Rust because it's "too unfamiliar", then you're really out of options. I don't think

That's what the local police is for. Where are they? What are they doing? The PRC army marching in without the HK government explicitly and publicly calling for assistance seems like its much more likely to be the PRC taking hostile ac

I, personally, would either want to pay per article or for a single subscription service to a news organization. If given the choice between having 3 or more accounts+subscriptions (let alone 20) to juggle, and not consuming news at all,

Huh, that's funny. I legitimately would prefer the "wrong" way. Does that make me dysfunctional in some way? Enough people on this thread disagree with you that I think it's safe to say that there is no "right"

I learned to touch-type in QWERTY first, and then Dvorak. Currently, my speed with the latter is significantly higher (~60 WPM vs. ~90 WPM), but as DSK is my primry layout, that's possibly just due to the relative amount of time that I
