I've been looking at the options for pure-functional languages targeting JS, and it seems that PureScript is superior to Elm from a technical perspective for full-stack webdev. PureScript takes the approach of providing a full Haskell-

This guy takes it as a given that the Government is well-run and wise. But what's the practical alternative for someone who instead thinks that the current political environment is toxic and insane?

Neat, but extending amino acids would be even cooler. DNA is mostly "just" a string encoding for information, like binary or hexadecimal. Proteins on the other hand are the actual machines whose blueprints are written in DNA, and
