That said, his motivation for rewriting it is the right call. Dark does not have enough of a standard library for third party integrations (among other issues) or a way to easily contribute them which makes it tough to build in the large.
I’m really rooting for Dark - even with the rough edges it feels like the future and how I want to eventually build software.
The futureofcoding interviews were much better, what they are doing is really interesting, though I am unconvinced that all the stuff they're doing is actually required to achieve their goals.
For example, they claim that a structured editor is required, but if per-method granularity is good enough, then a normal method browser would work just as well. As far as I can tell.
