The examples shown on the site are code editing. Which puts it in direct competition with the more established Monaco from Microsoft [1]. Competition is welcome, but the description sounds like this is more of a library than a finished prod

I would argue that other than eschewing classes for bare functions, there is nothing functional (as in "Functional Programming") about React or hooks. Simply removing classes and calling it "functional" is a stretch.

Constraints such as singleton give guidance on how to use your code. If you remove constraints then it is harder to figure out intended usage. Sure constraints may need to be modified in the future, but that doesn't make constraints us

A singleton restriction is a guide to other programmers in the team as to how to use your class. i.e., "don't create multiple instances of my Cache class, use this one instance, otherwise you defeat its purpose". It is a good

Microsoft's MFA is terrible. You install an app called Authenticator. Then when you login the Authenticator app gets a push notification, and the user has to say whether to allow the login or not. If you accidentally press Yes, the att
