This sounds very similar to “rash” which is based on racket

The name conflicts with the build tool used for ocaml, which is also called dune.

I wish s-expression was a popular alternative. It’s readable without the yaml issues.

You’re right, and I actually make that point in the blog post! Reactivity is not exclusive to the frontend.

However, in the frontend, Reactivity is almost an invisible default. You don’t opt into it, you just kinda have to when you use a modern framework.

In the backend, many people use Reactive patterns without even knowing them or thinking of them. But either way, if you do use them, you likely opted in, and it wasn’t a “all code you write is automatically reactive” like in modern browser ui frameworks

Time saved is not the most important part. Here is my opinion:

• it is very satisfying to use. Once it becomes muscle memory, vim just gets out of your way, and you feel like you’re one with the computer. Your ideas flow freely from brain to document.
• neovim is highly customizable and scriptable. You can make it do many things, many of which were never even conceived by the developers.

Have you considered raku? I’m not super familiar with perl but I assumed raku is perl improved

What a great blog. Thanks!
