TLDR: string parsing is hard and most of us are vulnerable to assumptions and/or never get around to do those fuzzy tests properly when checking that input is handled correctly.

Seems like a good fit for bundling and/or containerization of js-apps.

I can not say that I really understand anything but I like it; any chance of using the term factorial in meetings outside of gaming is a win.

"Microsoft made their fortune by being ethically bankrupt and breaking the law". Much like most of todays rich countries including US, EU, Russia and China.

Go can link to assembler and C routines so yes, I would think Go could be a good language for mid/top-level stuff.

There are those of us who actually enjoy Windows and prefer using Vagrant with zsh when doing Linux devevlopment.

I've never had adware/toolbars or such installed by chocolatey, can't speak for others though. I use when I want a quick way of getting for example the JRE without crap installed.
