That’s a good point! I find the lower cognitive load and thus the ability of “understand” instead of trusting on multiple layers of abstractions intellectually stimulating!

Sure, I’m still trusting on a compile and an OS and a handful of libraries, but that is certainly a lot less than the standard, say, node.js app out there with a couple thousand npm dependencies.
