JavaScript is compiled to assembly language in modern runtimes like v8. You are confusing a language with the language implementation.

You posted a garbage book by a non scientist well known conservative climate denier. You are a crackpot and I don't have any more time for this.

False. That is "skeptic" nonsense. Note the quotes around skeptic because I don't consider climate denialists true skeptics. "Climategate" was reviewed extensively by numerous organizations and no wrongdoing was fou

I'm just trying to relate OP's comment to changes in the conference or even claims about a market effect. It seems like wishful thinking.

According to articles on Forbes and Extremetech, Intel currently has 99% of the server market. This is a new product that may affect Intel, but it hasn't done anything yet. So far this is just speculation then.

AMD has had cheaper/slower processors for many years. Is something different about Ryzen?

Why not? I wouldn't choose to develop against SaaS that I knew was going to shut down in 5 years. Parse also said they'd keep running after the buyout.

I think Apple's big win was in mindshare and getting the education market, maybe being more professional and establishing vendor relationships. You didn't see Altairs. I only knew about them from magazines. When I was in early gra
