What's the best string representation of a function? Comparing with other PLs: Python: <function __main__.add_one()> JS: [Function: addOne] Clojure: #function[user/add-one] Scheme: #<procedure add-one (x)> I'm currently thinking about <fun add_one() foo.gdn:123>

Shower thought: Printing runtime values is far more useful for product types than sum types. For a struct it's useful to see all the fields, but for a nullable int it's less useful to see 123.

I rather like that npm says "installed 123 packages from 45 authors". It gives you a sense of how big the team you're depending on is. I'd love to see something similar for other parts of the stack: "43 kernel developers have worked on your wifi driver!"
