I feel that pain on the splitbrain docs. That's my number one complaint about their API's - I'm never sure if I'm on the newest. That said, there's a "familiarity" to them... once you figure out how things changed it's easy to quickly determine the age of a code sample.

You should try the custom runtime again! It's come a long way since Beta.

Thank you, I will.

Good point about the "getting it" with their docs. I suppose there's always that ethereal point with new concepts... It's just frustrating when it takes so long to get there. And, somehow, once you're there, it becomes incredibly hard to empathize with people who don't "get it" yet. Consequently, docs suffer.

As the old joke goes: Once you understand monads, you immediately lose the ability to explain them to others.

Anyway, good to hear they've improved and stabilized.
