break trade offs

It is good realize that "everything is a trade off " It is even better to have insights or ideas that let you break out of a classical wrong dichotomy. Great examples are

• optional typing,
• linters who make "tabs vs spaces vs braces" a personal preference which gets abstracted away before commit and checkout.

many flavors but one backend

Extending the "tabs vs spaces vs braces" example, in angle we allow multiple ways to express things but under the hood the system strives for a unified single model. This underlying simplicity leads to ease of development when communicated correctly to the users (developers).
