Having a visual differentiator for networking calls would be really neat

First of all, I think darklang is brilliant, the idea is genius and I love it! I'm a fan :D
The first thing I tried was to query the github api. I got stopped right away because I have no idea how to deal with secrets in this environment! I'm not comfortable to hardcode credentials in code as shown in this example: https://docs.darklang.com/walk-throughs/airtable
Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed with this ? Is it safe to hard code things in the code? I'm really open minded about it because I understand this is a paradigm shift :D

The second thing I tried was to query the public github api. It worked but I was puzzled by how to do basic things like add a header in the request, extracting a header from the response.
Then I found out that I had to learn the language which is a OCaml flavor. Ok, a bit time consuming but I love FP, so yay! Just time consuming.
One comment on that, i don't really see the difference between a code that do a request and code that process data. Having a visual differentiator for networking calls would be really neat :D

Finally I ran out of free time and had stop playing around, sadly.
I would love to build something with Github API as it is something I use quite often and I think many developers do (thinking about your adoption).
One idea would be to use it for "awesome list" as I maintain one called ___________

I think people will welcome this new type of programming, especially people working in operation needing to automate a task, this is perfect.
The entry bar to do something is still a bit unintuitive, but I'm a programmer, I've been programming for a long time and I know that every time I learn a new language I have to unlearn the others :)

I'm really looking forward to using darklang more!
