do-notation can be easily implemented using delimited continuations (ie. generators). Generators compose well and flatten tail calls so you don't need TCO or trampolines. The only notable issue is that one-shot delimited continuations

There isn't much difference nowadays. I think it's just a matter of preference as long as the trackpad is made of glass, which aren't hard to find on PC's anymore. I even prefer my PC trackpad on Linux vs my Mac trackpad

Also what's shocking is that you see plenty of young able people in those tents that could get a job yet decide to stay there. That baffles me. If you have arms, and legs, and you're doing ok in the membrane, then you can find a j
