Or, you know, a SaaS cloud company could go belly-up and lose a ton of customer data with absolutely no backup or other compensation plan. "Suing the corpse" only works if the corpse hasn't already been looted. If that happen

All of your arguments work much better in favor of Open Source and against closed-source. After all, in Open Source, maintainership can be distributed, but a single closed-source shop is much more likely to simply declare bug bankruptcy and

My point is that you don't spend as much time up front if you have fully internalized the way the language wants you to think. It took me a while to reach some kind of plateau in Haskell, and now I can simply compose working code at th
