i think the use-cases for that are pretty few and far between, at least at the 'team' level. If you have a team, you need some way to manage members, which means adding/removing members. with this model, you effectively wou

curious. what exactly is wrong with sbt? I used it once of twice when I was learning scala and I liked it a LOT more than gradle/maven. To the point where I actually opted to use it with my Kotlin projects later.

honestly, not sure about this either. Cordova works great without having to support two separate codebases for your views, which is what we all want. Vue Native, while sporting a nice HTML syntax, is just wrapping native components, whic
