Releases when new blog posts are added

[BenjaBobs]

Hi, I recently discovered Vale and have read all the blog posts and documentation with great interest since.
I'm really excited to see where you're able to take this project in the future and will follow it's development avidly.
Is there any chance of doing releases in this repo whenever a new blog post is published?
That way I can subscribe to releases and get notified.

Thanks. 🙂

Hey, thank you for the kind words! It means a lot to hear that Vale is exciting 🙂

I had no idea people could subscribe to releases, that's pretty cool. Do you think a lot of folks do that? Is that what "Watch" means for github repos?

I've no idea how many people actually use the feature, but yes that is exactly what the watch button does.
I usually watch releases for the repos that I use or find interesting.

You can also subscribe to all activity (issues/pull requests/etc), but I find it very spammy for popular repos, so I only do that for repos I contribute to, to stay in the loop.

And yeah, the pleasure is all mine, I find Vale very refreshing.
Coming from a C#/.NET background I've always liked that it was verbose about what it did, but there are issues with the language/runtime that cannot be fixed because it would break backwards compatibility.
I've looked at Rust and Go for possible alternatives to scratch my itch, but I find myself disagreeing with decisions about language design / standard library.
Vale seems very promising though, I might pick it up for my next hobby/tinkering project.
I like that

• the syntax isn't some attempt at code golf that ignores the fact that every modern editor/ide has some form of autocomplete
• it doesn't seem very magic at all, what you see is what you get
• it has strong safety

Also the universal function call syntax seems brilliant to me, but I'm wondering what the plans are to tackle large projects that may have a lot of functions operating on primitives.
Though that seems more of a problem for the IDE to solve, than the language to solve.
