There was a way to make a permanent site installation on most browsers using HTML5 appcache, which even the web host couldn't update, but that API is deprecated in favor of the service worker's Cache API. It's not clear to me

I'm not sure why your response was downvoted, either. My opinion is that people are far too quick to flag and downvoted on HN at the present time. For the record, I upvoted your comment above.

Oh, option types! I don't know Julia or C#, so never heard this called nullability before. On any case, as someone else pointed out, OCaml had supper for option types built in, through sum types. I agree that sum types are indispensabl
