I'm surprised there aren't more interpreted languages with a first party type checker. Python has several good type checkers, Ruby has Sorbet, and there are others. Having zero compilation time *and* a full IDE seems like such a compelling design, at least on paper.

I certainly see the appeal of an LLM system with full context and tool use (OpenClaw), but the lethal trifecta puts me off deploying it. I do like the idea of an agent with a heartbeat though. A bunch of nice cron-style workflows can be built on top.

Trying the nix CLI today, and I'm seriously impressed with the formatting of its --help output. Indented warnings, italics, bullets, even adding a left border to code snippets! It's a nice reminder to take full advantage of terminal features to help the reader.
