I'm already considering ditching the Gmail app as it displays ads at the top that look just like new e-mails (I was an Inbox user before); although I am not quite sure what app to switch to. Sadly there isn't really an alternative

Although I haven't used TypeScript extensively, I fail to see how it has better support for functional programming over C#. Could you provide some examples?

This is a good use of the more modern C++ features such as string_view, constexpr and template metafunctions such as decay and enable_if. I do wonder how much this would impact compile-times if used moderately in a large code-base.

That's a very good point: different languages require different QA strategies (do statically typed languages require less unit tests?). My initial thought when working with Python wasn't from a bugs/QA point of view but merel

Switzerland is very different to the US concerning guns in most ways (including the fact that it only has around 1/4 of the guns the US has, per capita). This article from the same website you linked is quite informative in my opinion:
