    How much time you spend depends on your data structures. If the easy default options are good enough you don't need to sweat. We make heavy use of disjoint unions, and while the si…

    Same here. I have been using Flow (mostly) and TS (occasionally, including counter-checking problems in Flow to see what TS does in a similar case). Overall I would not go back to …

    You actually make his point stronger: Given the difficulty, there are far too few people in it. Instead, people flock to the easy stuff. That's because who pays you if you don't ge…
