No no, I think you found the language flaw.
"Traditionally, testing was often relegated to the final stages of development, just before the release"
I was going to dismiss this as another strawman - the same strawman that we've been whipping since Winston Royce, 1970.
But then I see:
"At the outset of a project, during the planning phase, testers should collaborate with developers and stakeholders to understand the requirements and define clear, testable acceptance criteria."
How did we get back to waterfall?
"you will begin to associate “easy to learn with cool features” as the worst mistake that the language made."
No JS Dev has ever behaved that way.
@Kecessa no you missed my point. You change the behaviour of the producer, not the consumer.
@Kecessa @grue knowing that the source will be published discourages bad actors from putting crap into the program in the first place.
And if they do it anyway, other people can come along and repackage it without the bad bits, like vscodium.
I believe that the trick is not to show the developers the bill.
Let the developers all tell each other "it's cheap because you don't have to buy the servers; you only pay for what you use!"
Only managers see the real price.
Awful naming. Forgetting the fortune 500 company you're already thinking of, there's already a Meta Lang, abbreviated to ML.
Besides that, does it have any 'meta' features? E.g. Homoiconicity?
