Thanks! Totally agree — in most real-world apps the “runtime overhead” ends up dwarfed by everything else in the stack, so the build-free ergonomics can be a bigger win.
And nice, Mancha looks cool — I’ll give it a read and star. It looks similar with dagger in some features, for instance, mancha uses :data to create scope while dagger uses +load directive. Always great to see other takes on the runtime/compile spectrum; I think having multiple approaches out there is healthy for the ecosystem!
