If Cloudflare wants to defend the future of the web, maybe they could also throw a few dollars towards projects with better governance and aren't helmed by a BFDL with a spotty record and are written in a more future-proof language than C++ [0]. (For example, Servo.)

+1. I spent hours lovingly sanitizing and prepping and waiting for habaneros to ferment; in the end, they added a bit of funky tang, but I didn't feel like it was worth the time. I realized that vinegar-based hot sauce recipes are quicker to iterate on and perfect and taste closer to what I prefer.

However, it's all subjective! Watching something ferment in a container is inherently fun, in the way a terrarium with a small creature in it can be. YMMV.

> Lucy’s father was not as pleased with his new quarters. Two days after the Johnsons moved in, he told West, “Mr. West, if you can’t get that shower of mine fixed, I’m going to have to move back to The Elms.”

> “He didn’t sound as if he were joking,” West was to say. And after the President explained that the water pressure was inadequate, and that he wanted the same elaborate, multi-nozzle arrangement that he had had at his former home, he repeated his threat to move out. Then, “without a smile, he turned on his heel and walked away.”

> A few minutes later, Mrs. Johnson asked West to come by the room she had chosen for her once, a small sitting room with one door. “I guess you’ve been told about the shower,” she said, with a smile, and repeated to West what she said to all Johnson employees. “Anything that ... needs to be done, remember this: my husband comes first, the girls second, and I will be satisfied with what’s left.”

> As he became acquainted with the Johnsons, West was to write, “I soon could see that had been her life’s pattern.” Nothing, he came to see, could “faze her.”

I hope it brings you the five minutes of delight that it brought me

I'm kind of astounded the article didn't talk about Paul Singer at all. It seems like a massive oversight to not dig into the money behind Barnes and Noble.

As a result, raising and catching exns in OCaml is cheap. List.fold_until in Base, for example, is implemented with exceptions: https://github.com/janestreet/base/blob/ae169dc8097b3da8e99d... (With_return is internally implemented by raising an exception in a try-with.)

Implementations of functional programming languages often have powerful, yet fast!, non-local control-flow primitives. GHC recently sprouted delimited continuations (https://ghc.gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/doc/users_guide/9.6.1-not...), for example, and Lisps have had that for much longer. It's easy to program in an imperative language for a long time and think that straight-line control flow is the end-all, be-all for performance—but it doesn't have to be the case.

In case you were looking for more examples of "open source being held together by one tireless person somewhere" (obligatory xkcd comic link omitted).
