Is it surprising that a "worse" language won, when Scala kept making one strategic blunders after another for more than 10 years?It's not as if they didn't know they were making costly mistakes, they just didn't care.

Nvidia's poor Linux support has been a thing for decades.If at all, the situation has recently improved. And that only after high-profile Linux developers telling Nvidia to get their shit together.
Then do whatever you need to do to stop freaking out about other peoples' right to choose to not deal with LLMs.
I tried it and moved the directory. Results:Firefox opens, settings from the profile are still there.Empty ./mozilla/extensions directories are recreated on startup.Firefox cannot show any websites anymore.Yikes.
Always good to know that after sitting on it for 2 decades, shipping some half-assed shit was the best they could do.
Might be useful to some, but the underlying assumption that "more features = better" is questionable in general.
I'm working on Core whose primary design goal is to not invent any new features, but implement existing things correctly.The grammar is implemented with recursive-descent, one could define an equivalent EBNF, but I haven't found the need to do so yet.

Yeah, but compared to counting money, nobody cares if some physics paper got its numbers wrong. :-)(Not to mention that would require the paper to have reproducible artifacts first.)
Removing let-else is the whole point of the linked article series:Being able to do to everything Rust does, but without Rust's zoo of if-then-else, match, if-let, let-else etc.
