Imagine you had the chance to buy a new blackboard for your office - what would you choose and why?
a) an actual blackboard (with chalk and everything)

Check out the implementation in Kitten’s development-time process manager (this little file is what Kitten uses in place of a heavyweight module like Nodemon):
