Standard Library

Stop Obsessing Over Type Systems. The Real Programming Moat is the Standard Library

We keep celebrating “new” programming language features that are just rediscoveries of 1980s ideas like Eiffel’s contracts or SSA. If we want a genuine breakthrough in developer experience, we need to stop obsessing over clever type systems and start building next-level standard libraries. The real moat isn’t the type checker; it’s the ecosystem.
