Rewrite why-astra.md and README to be honest about advantages#27
Merged
Conversation
- Remove false claim that Rust lacks machine-readable diagnostics (cargo check --message-format=json exists) - Remove weak "one way to write things" claim (Rust has rustfmt, Go has gofmt) - Soften ownership argument — acknowledge it's an empirical observation about current models, not a permanent limitation - Remove ecosystem references — obvious for a new language - Add "Honest comparison" sections that acknowledge what other languages already provide - Add "Known Trade-offs" section (interpreted only, GC overhead, no training data) - Restructure README problem statement to be specific and fair - Focus value proposition on the three genuine differentiators: mandatory effect tracking, agent-oriented diagnostics, enforced test determinism https://claude.ai/code/session_01PHDK21bkgNsWCjdtfzxLCE
