@searls thanks for writing it. I did do a talk on it at the time and I think it helped my reasoning about testing at different levels. At the same time I also never got into a position to actually use it in production. One of those things I guess.

@searls I see a lot in common with Evan Czaplicky's talk at Strange Loop recently, on the business model of programming languages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ3w_jec1v8

It's a shame tools like React won such a dominant marketshare position while not being the right tool for so many jobs.

@searls because you didn't write it in Haskell

@searls Nice post. For me the most poignant part was "If the company sponsoring it turns heel and embraces the dark side, would a community-maintained fork be feasible?" which is the question I keep coming back to in a whole bunch of open source contexts.

@searls I agree it is nearly impossible for the average joe programmer to get adoption of their OSS, especially in established languages. Best case scenario, your OSS project with 10 stars can be used as a conversation starter when looking for work.
