'a Option makes grammatical sense if you read the 'a as adjectival. If you move the type constructor to be first so it looks like function application then I agree, it's just people moving familiar symbols around without thinking about their informal meaning.

Damn straight. It's bloody appalling. The statement adds that they "believe strongly in inclusion" which seems like quite a "why are you punching yourself?" kind of thing to come out with.

If you perform an update you don't refer to the pre-update version again (and in particular you don't produce more values from it via update). A problem with persistent data structures that have amortised performance is that you might end up paying the "high" cost repeatedly otherwise.

What's harder to hide is the way an attention system is driven. It's a passive function. When it's not predicting tokens it's not running.
