I do like git yes, and I don't see how I would've designed it any different. And I certainly wouldn't want it tied to my choice of language. The eco-system is large and I can host it on git{lab,hub} or any of the alternatives. Personally I self-host a Gitea instance. I use it for much more than just code, such as notes and personal wiki.

I get the feeling that Darklang is intended more as a platform than a language is that correct?

^ This, and gently, with your interests only in mind: you're sort of missing the point if you're still asserting "no, its the VCS and the host and the storage service and the and the and the" when people are interacting with you, with no further detail.

Shortly before I got a job at Google in Boston, I was still living in my dying steeltown and beautiful hometown Buffalo, NY.

I was absolutely _over the moon_ that a combined juicery/bar/Indian food/sandwich shoppe/bakery was opening nearby.

It never opened

In retrospect, with age, it would have been horrible[^1], and my friends were gently teasing me about my excitement were right.

Lets say the owner did have a series of specialists or a transformative way to pull of fusing these: they would have frustrated the small portion of the vast majority willing to engage by saying "hold on, it'll be awesome and totally will have all of those foods"

[^1] it wasn't a food hall, picture the size of maybe a mcdonald's and a half. even if you had a series of specialists for each of those, there wasn't enough room for a tandoor, grill, real juicer, deli, etc. etc.
