    First of all, I'm glad Microsoft is getting involved in this space. They have a deep talent pool when it comes to language design and tooling and it'll be interesting to see where …

    This is pretty cool. On the other hand, stop sucking up all the supply for Raspberry Pis! My order keeps getting delayed and it's making me sad.

    Not really, all this seems to be doing is programmatically adding spans with classes around letters/words/lines. The layout is still being specified in the CSS. I don't think it's …
