There’s a lot of “And then for some reason we did this, and it was more complexity” in this paper. I think that’s missing the point of languages, as a conversion layer between machine code and weird, squishy human brains. We think better, hold abstractions in our minds better, when the language maps more closely with how we’re structuring the problem in our minds.
Not sure if you were even looking for paper reviews.
I think they crave shared experience, the social activity of watching together, of picking something that everyone wants to watch.
I miss it too, except I never wanted to watch what they wanted to watch. I couldn’t do it either.
Now I just miss them.
