    I remember that: for repos ~ 1Gb Mercurial just became unusable. It took half of day just to clone the repo.

    Run some examples, and it looks like this "High-performance, real-time optimized, super-fast" language is ~ 10 times slower than luajit ~ 3 times slower than lua 5.4

    You are right - platform with censorship doesn't make any sense. They should provide flexible filters instead, so you won't get content that you don't want.

    Curring is a way to do "dependency injection" in FP, so it let you to "capture" some arguments and don't pass them each time. Sure, arguments order matter, but you don't need to re…
