Sweet, variadic maps sound really useful, I am always having to take a moment when mixing functions that take keyword arguments vs. option maps. Also, some of those functions added to core show up in my code as convenience functions - Glad I can now just make use of core.

> The good thing about modern languages is that you don't depend on the location of code in the page for it to work. If you start worrying too much about exact formatting, you throw away this big advantage.

Counterpoint: When using a formatter, I stop worrying about formatting. It's a job for a computer, done by a computer. Humans are bad at consistency and discipline, computers are great at it. I want to concentrate on the things that matter, and formatting isn't one of those.

Especially in larger teams, consistent formatting is just nice. No conflicting styles in the same file, and more meaningful diffs.

Absolutely. There is no magic point in your career where you know everything. Plus, it fosters a culture of asking. And often you’re not the only one in the room who doesn’t know. Often asking a stupid question like „I don’t know that word - Can you explain?“ will prompt further questions from other people.
