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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pandoc-discuss" group.
