Although if anyone happens to know of a good high level programming language with higher kinded types, type classes, dependent types or at least type level macros, that is not pure or at least has an effect system so transparent that it might as well not be, and that isn’t so overloaded with syntax and features it might as well be C++, I’d definitely be all ears.

One that isn’t Scala, that is.

people ask 'why is open source software so poorly designed' and then they get into industry and realize that all b2b software is even worse. then they go back and try to use something they used to use a couple years ago & can't figure it out. because it turns out that almost all software is poorly designed, but we overlook the workarounds we do for the flaws in the software we're most accustomed to, and to the degree that open source software is exceptionally bad, it's because it's made by professionals during their off time or built on some proprietary software that had its source donated to apache or something. when people make software that scratches their own personal itches, that software is easy to use in that particular domain.

Once again that time of the year to support an important open source tool.
KiCad has become a very professional development endeavour and even if you don't use KiCad day to day like me it's very important this tools exists and gets supported.
Chip in if your finances allow it.
