There's a lot of praise for ORC[1], but is there any discussion of the downsides of this approach? One potential downside is increased compile times, something that hasn't ever been a problem for Nim. However, I'm not sure wh

Every X window is a buffer, so you have all of emacs's powerful buffer switching programs (see: ido, helm [1], ivy [2]) for focusing windows. Also there are multiple interesting solutions to managing window splits [6], moving windows [

For a high-level API, shouldn't this be expressed with types such as a `Result<T,E>` at the library level? edit: now that I think about it, that would require some really nice optional chaining syntax to be even slightly usable.
