Unless civet's compiled output is hard to read you could always just check in the compiled Typescript source and continue from there if it gets abandoned. Not much of a risk when the migration is built in by the way the tool works in normal use.
The compiled output seems pretty clean, but isn’t necessarily what you’d write by hand. e.g. adds things like anonymous functions called immediately, when you’d probably just write a named private function, that sort of thing.
There's plenty to criticize about Protonmail but this article is sensationalist bullshit. I'm surprised the HN population is letting itself be goaded like this.
I'd like to posit that getting rewarded for forwarding traffic in combination with the lack of maintenance over the node list makes Sybil attacks on this network the default instead of just a concern.
IMHO your editor should be formatting your Lisp with this kind of indentation anyway, parentheses or not. If you have that, Z-expressions seem kinda moot.
To me, the only syntax type I dislike more than tons of parentheses is significant indentation. But with s-expressions that's a presentation issue that can be solved with proper formatting and de-emphasising the parentheses visually, whereas significant indentation to me feels actively programmer hostile.
But while I also don't like the appearance of significant indentation, if it was just a presentation choice of an underlying more robust representation, I'd be fine with that.
So I sort-of agree - it seems like something that could be a neat editor plugin etc. on top of a s-expression based language and would be better for it than as the only/default syntax.
