Google prefers to index newer pages: https://stop.zona-m.net/2018/01/indeed-it-seems-that-google-is-forgetting-the-old-web/ Perhaps people want newer results more often? The article suggests there's probably a limit how much can be indexed for immediate retrieval.

I love how JS makes project-specific imports unambiguous: `import "./project-dir/foo"` versus `import "installed-pkg/foo". I've been doing the same in my PL. I've just realised that `import "/home/wilfred/project/foo"` now works too. It's weird but probably harmless?

Are there any developer experience advantages for `x := 1` over `let x = 1`? A `let` keyword probably improves parsing error behaviour, and makes declarations more visible. := is more concise though.

Writing type params with <> (e.g. List<Int>) seems the most natural to me: probably because I encountered that syntax first. Between C++, Java and TypeScript I think it's the most common too. List[Int] seems to be next most common (Scala, Python) but TIL Gleam uses List(Int)!
