It seems like a bug report on what is not clear in the documentation would be highly useful.

No API to hook into one's favorite tools, such as emacs.

This is likely true for many companies. However, it is also a metric for what type of working environment it will be. I value being able to learn quickly and creativity over pre-training.

The article doesn't understand programmers. People will stay because they are passionate about OCaml and there are not a lot of OCaml jobs.

When hiring for a permanent position, I have the expectation that a programmer can learn a new language and environment. An OCaml programmer for a position that is python or C would be looked on very favorably. Far more attention-getting than “full-stack programmer”.

Plus the 64-bit integer problem, really 52-bit integers, due to JS not having integers.

Darktable is an interesting project and an impressive effort. However, serious photographers tend to use Lightroom. It is just eons beyond Darktable.

Sometimes even those of us who love programing want to use software rather than develop it.
