Not taking issue with what you said; don't hate you. "Caveat."

What's wrong with y.*e.*s ?

Is any party not riddled by doubts and infighting?

Someone who thinks it looks bull-headed?

The leadership contest uses ranked preference voting. There's no vote-splitting.

Neither covariant nor contravariant.

supertype[] is not a supertype of subtype[] if supertype and subtype alone are in that relationship, because the mutability of arrays means that the Liskov substitution principle doesn't hold.

(These are all something you'll probably find good explanations of on Wikipedia.)

That's not realistic or "fair" - most Haskell projects will use a dozen or so extensions easily. GHC has been a platform for language experimentation for a long time; standardisation efforts keep on cropping up in annual surveys. (Eg, swapping in Text for String in base is long overdue, but it's a hold over from days where FP pedagogy was seen as more important.)

I was very nearly in the same boat. The initial box dialogue was written by and for angry 14-year-old boys. It gets massively better; the characterisation is broad and engaging, and the central-european fairy-rail feel is really quite strong. The two pieces of DLC have great stories themselves.

Unfortunately high. It's the same reason there's a "space force". He didn't know about the coastguard and guessed something else, then doubled down.

They haven't been charged.

That's a good point. You can get away with that with a new language, but adding nullability as a non-default option would break existing code much like making things const by default in C++ would, I suppose.

Lombok had a bunch of great things that should've been part of the java language to begin with. They've slowly been folded in (so now you have to work out which @NotNull annotation you want) but the language does still improve.
