I'm slightly surprised that Rust has implemented the Default trait for booleans: https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/core/default.rs.html#205 The default is false, but it feels very arbitrary. Maybe it makes more sense next to integers, where the default value is 0.

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 tried OpenClaw today and I was surprised by the short time horizon of conversations. Am I holding it wrong? W: Summarise open issues on my GH repo. O: (summary) W: OK, remember how I want you to format content [..]. O: Noted. W: Summarise the issues again. O: What issues?

I've had good results by prompting an LLM "review your changes" in the same session when I don't like the initial output. I'm surprised this is effective: I would think it's redundant when you're running with a high effort setting.
