#2I really like where Netlify is going and how they embrace open source to achieve their goals. There's just one thing I miss in their mix: strong typing. No Elm, PureScript or ReasonML (just yet).

Netlify employee here - this is even funnier when it happens from the inside. There's a moment after working here for a fairly short time when you start typing "net..." into your browser and the autocomplete has turned from netflix into netlify. Somewhat of a rite of passage ;)
