I don't know why but for a moment I read this comment in horror imagining language developers implementing telemetry in the compilers and tooling themselves, then relying on them to "improve the experience" by changing the spec every six months.
- shadowgovt 5y agoOh, they wouldn't have to do that. ... a scan of GitHub and feeding keywords and constructs into a couple hoppers would be all the ML you needed for that. ;) (... I'm joking, but if you're a language designer, this is actually not a terrible idea for figuring out how people use your language "in the wild." What you do with that information will separate wisdom from knowledge).
