   The section on C# and WebAssembly is particularly fascinating, but the entire talk is extremely well done and interesting.

   Thanks for GitLab and the helpful link. It's also nice to see you're keeping https://about.gitlab.com/direction/ up to date. Lots of nice stuff in there, including ops features.

   There's a lot of companies in that space, but yes, Gitlab is aiming to be the total package when it comes to development. "Idea, Issue, Plan, Code, Commit, Test, Review, Staging, Production, Feedback". Deployment is a part of

    I would think it's a sensible default, but you're right, you should have the option to change it. I actually assumed the option was there, but I just checked in 9.3, and it's not.

    Thanks for the update, and appreciate your work. I had been keeping an eye on your nnbd prototype here, https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/tree/prototype-nnbd Any updates on that? Do you still think it's a

    > can't wait to see what Dart 2.0 brings us What makes you think there will even be a 2.0? I ask because a couple of years ago there was talk of 2.0, but sadly, that has tapered off to silence.

    Keep in mind nacl/pnacl, as a more mature technology, is ahead of WebAssembly wrt features, such as threads, simd, etc. I know these are coming to WebAssembly, but who knows how long it'll take.

    Currently reading The Bell Curve to see what all the fuss is about. I'm not far in, but their hypotheses about intelligence stratification and poverty seem to make sense and they seem to have been very careful in their analysis.

    Built our system with Dart on front and backend, and we LOVE it. Powerful language, no surprises, easy to learn. You will indeed find lots of hate for Dart all over the internet. I would highly encourage you to ignore it and explore it. Two
