Nice. Been waiting for this release to try it out.

The problem is the argument over those 10%.

> at least talk to a few

This is more like how to get unrepresentative sample 101.

Maybe they did and concluded it's fine to remove only to find out that general opinion is different.

To me this looks like better plan. Instead of unpredictable mechanism on when the messages disappear from you history, it's now predictable and you can act according to it.

Thanks. Did that.

I already run queries against this dataset on weekly basis . If this is bug I prefer it to be fixed over engineering resource intensive workaround it.

And it makes git diff pretty.

*more functional

IIRC php/hack had it before jsx existed:

https://docs.hhvm.com/hack/XHP/introduction

https://github.com/phplang/xhp

That's actually the heritage of JSX!

XHP was launched in 2010 (https://www.facebook.com/notes/10158791323777200/)

The first version of FaxJs (the precursor to React) was launched in 2011, being directly inspired from XHP (https://github.com/jordwalke/FaxJs)

React was made in 2012 by the same person who made FaxJs, taking the best ideas from FaxJs and creating React.

So yeah, JSX actually comes from the idea of XHP :)

https://github.com/facebookarchive/xhp-php5-extension if you are interested in seeing how Marcel initially implemented XHP for PHP.

The concept was popular at Facebook, so it made its way into HPHP, HHVM, and later ReactJS.

I've used python typing heavily at work and was really useful to detect bugs and helped with developement.

> as evidenced by only 15% of repos passing mypy

That is no evidence. Of course, if you don't have mypy in CI (or pre-commit hooks or whatever), your repo will not pass mypy. But if you have it in CI, then you can rely on them being correct.

> tools like pytype or mypy will never capture all the complicated hacks possible

But they can either enforce everything being correctly typed (if you go to really strict settings), or yes, you will have some code untyped, so you will be careful around that part. It's not like all or nothing.

There is (or was) feature between online services including facebook, github and others where you could link your accounts for recovery purposes.
