See my reply to RobertoG.

I think this is a sign of stagnating development on the frontend. You have all these zealous developers trying to just do something new, better, different - eventually it leads to consuming itself, to the point where old, widely accepted standards are broken in the name of novelty, with no concern for the UX.

The same self-consumption can also be seen in the cryptocurrency space.

This is merely clickbait. It's a lambda-calculus circle jerk disguised as a philosophical question.

I may have an idea, for the sound at least.

I think this is essentially a way to "simulate" the loud keys of a mechanical keyboard on a silent/quieter keyboard. Most mechanical keyboard users would probably say the "click clack" sounds from their key switches are just a side effect and the real reason they use them is the "feel", but I'd argue that it's the entire sensory experience: the feel and sound, that they (and I) enjoy.

It'd be nice to have some low-latency "click clack" sounds on my MBP using Neovim...

Political cartoons are, in my opinion, reductionist garbage that fail to take into consideration nuance and complexity and context.

Ironically, so are most news publications today, fueled by blue check journalists living in the same three cities...

See the thousands of conversations on Twitter that end in "it's not possible to be racist against white people."

I wonder why this hasn't been implemented in the standard library yet. People have been doing this for at least 3 years, and the benefits Cheney listed are real.

Another Go constant feature I would love is pure function compile time initialization. It will never happen, but I can dream.
