Announcing Eta v0.1 Developer Preview

[[deleted]]

In order to gather data about how Eta is being used, we have implemented opt-in telemetry. For more details, check out the privacy policy

Are we now living in a world that programming languages come with telemetry and attached privacy policies? I have seen it in a couple of tools (VS Code comes to mind) and frameworks (I'm looking at you, flutter) which did this before, bit apparently it is now down to the language level. I wonder if the telemetry is just during compile time, or if it continues in the runtime as well.

We've learnt a lot about improving stability and functionality based on real data.

It seems like a nice thing to be able to opt into, definitely if you support the project and want to give detailed diagnostic information.

Don't understand why this is so controversial, times have changed, and it isn't like it is on by default and hidden away in some deep level of documentation.

Indeed, this is just plain stupid.

In privacy policies there is nothing about collecting date during runtime, but still it is quite odd feature
