When a tool supports both regular expressions and literal strings, which should be the default? If you default to regex, users can match more strings than they realise (e.g. `foo.txt`) or less (e.g. `foo(bar)`). I typically see regex as the default, but I prefer the opposite.

I'm trying to decide the best voice for PL documentation. Passive: "`let` can be used with destructuring." Reader focused: "You can use `let` with destructuring." Describing the PL: "FooLang supports destructuring with `let`." Anyone have opinions or best practices?

After seeing yet another YAML dialect for controlling systems, I think we need a hierarchy of YAML dialect expressiveness. (1) Has its own variable binding system. (2) Supports if statements. (3) Supports loops. (4) Supports function definition. 2 seems to be the most common, but I've seen all of 1-3. Does level 4 exist in the wild yet?
