The functional approach and general language design are really appealing, and feel quite satisfying. I particularly enjoy a general feeling of attention to detail, e.g. having versioned standard library functions to avoid breaking people’s work.
The documentation is also very helpful, though there are cases where I think writers haven’t had a lot of time to work on it.
Mainly, feature flags is very difficult for me to find information on - it’s given a couple of sentences in the main docs under Language Details, but it doesn’t seem to quite paint the same picture as the other resources I’ve found on feature flags (which mostly come from blog posts, and explain how one can create a “branch feature” that is slowly rolled out or tested, and make editing directly in production safer).
I’ve also noticed that indentation can be slightly odd sometimes, e.g. when writing an array of objects.
I also noticed a few issues trying to cut and paste, but perhaps I should rely more heavily on the refactoring shortcut.
There are some scenarios where the currently quite minimal standard library means I’m not sure how to proceed with a feature (e.g. lack of regular expression support).
It might also be nice to see more than one function at once when editing a function.
I’m looking forward to first-class function support, as I think it’ll help expand the possibilities of what I can accomplish using Dark.
