In my experience craigslist has always used a dummy email address between you and the seller. Neither person would see the real email address of the other. Of course, I'd eventually hand over my phone number to make communication easier.

I used metaballs and marching cubes on a Kinext game project back in college and had no idea how it actually worked (copy and pasted a lot of code). This description was very helpful to finally understand it.

Are there any cryptographic tools that would let you prove that that specific treasure has been found and not by the original hider?

You could store a private key in the treasure and use that to verify a signature, but how do you prove that the original hider no longer has a copy of that private key?

I feel that the distinction between null and undefined is less significant when you have types such as in TypeScript. The types let you know if a property can be optionally provided and there are constructs that help with that such as the ? operator.

What's the dev experience been like? Do you feel like there is good editor support for debugging and such?
