People buy iPads to try a single app. They hand over hundreds of dollars for a device they do not need, chasing the glint of a feature, the hollow promise of an interface. The tablet sits in their hands like a stone, and they call it freedom. All around them lie simpler paths, cheaper paths, open paths, and they step past them, blind to reason, eager to obey the whisper of marketing. It is a small madness, quiet and ordinary, but it is madness nonetheless.

The Nazis did exactly this, measuring skulls, nose shapes, and facial proportions to “prove” racial superiority. the logci is exactly the same as modern attempts to infer personality from a photo and reducing a person to physical traits and using pseudo-scientific reasoning to justify discrimination. Do you have a low forehead and a nose like a boxer? You're done for :)

Yes, in every ML/OCaml tutorial, sooner or later the words object, class, and type inference appear and that’s when a once–minimalist language turns into an academic Frankenstein.

If you’d rather do something about resource consumption instead of childish antics.

Nice snug self-contained binary with no dependencies :D
