Hello. This is my first post, so I apologize if I'm doing anything wrong.

I have a question/topic for conversation for John MacFarlane and any other 
long-time pandoc contributors:

*If you were to start over from scratch today, what would you do 
differently?*

If pandoc were never invented back in 2006, what are some different choices 
you would make today?
Would you use a different language (C++, Rust, Python)?
Different Haskell features (prefer Functors over Monads)?
Internal design architecture (completely re-written AST)?
Source-code structure (merge readers and writers so that each file format 
is specified in a single module instead of each file format being partially 
duplicated in a reader and a writer implementation)?

Those are all just examples. Feel free to share whatever you like.
