look, Wayland had been designed and implemented first and foremost for embedded systems like kiosks and car/aeroplane infotainment screens. For those usecases, no window positioning is necessary because there are effectively no windows.

The problem is, Freedesktop morons took this as a divine revelation and went full retard with it. And you must never go full retard under any circumstances.

disk space isn't why Electron is hated. Almost nobody complains about what. What people do complain about is runtime resource consumption, and this thing doesn't solve the problem. Webshit is an absolute hog when it comes to RAM use, regardless of delivery methods.

effects have been thoroughly studied within Haskell, where they originate from. Check out Polysemy (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/polysemy), for one. Overall, it's a 2010s idea what doesn't seem to get much traction, mostly because it doesn't solve any problem in particular.

P.S. this is a reply to your Koka comment.

so do a lot of other languages. This is not new. The only new thing in Rust is the use of affine types, a feature that was invented and studied in the 90s.

The thing is, popular programming languages lag behind the research by around 20 years. This is why, for one, OOP - aka a hip feature from the 70s - really took off in the 90s with Java.
