There’s an old article from the developer of NetNewsWire ( reader) that questions the idea of the unread count. You can’t read all the unread — so why entertain a time consuming mythos around that number?

It applies everywhere — What narratives might people create around the programming language % numbers on GitHub? Do they waste time thinking/fretting about their mythos? Fun to think about.

shell
apk add firefox

Google’s search box (rather tongue in cheek) is the most popular command line interface in use today. With , installing and running firefox would just be a phrase equivalent that compiles to:

shell
firefox

On NixOS, we can already do stuff like that. Of course, NixOS lacks a translation/encapsulation layer for imperative to declarative specification — so user friendliness suffers dramatically.
