I am not under the impression folding proteins is a state-change, and it's also unclear to me if it is a chemical reaction, so I do not think I understand the relevance of this point. I specifically stated the parameters.

Right, but that "supercooled water" can only make such a reaction because, thermodynamically speaking, someone intentionally injected energy into it without changing its state, thus enabling the reaction to occur within the bounds

It would seem to me some laws of thermodynamics would prevent any such "infection"-style reaction, but I am not a physicist nor chemist.

What kind of programs do you develop in JS? I don't think the kind of low-level programs that are allocating their own memory are anywhere near the same world that JS UIs are, and TS really helps solve JS UI problems like deeply nested

Why is this whole thread dead? Just because of the blatant appearance of astroturf or what?

“10% of TypeScript” sounds like words uttered by someone who has never used typescript. Strictly typed programs are incredible. My UIs never crash anymore

Yes, which is his point, 10-20% of yearly profits is a literal cost of doing business, and not a particularly damaging one. Most companies would gladly trade 20% profit in order to control information from every side of their industry...

I find that strange. For example, I would call Angular or Vue "thick" with their extra templating files and DSLs and two-way binding. I would call React thin because the JSX components you build are transparently just objects, the

Oh no, JSX that compiles down to the exact set of `new Object` calls you would expect in a tree structure, how can I understand such complexity!? Really, you're kidding yourself if you think React isn't far simpler than Angular or

Suspense is a pretty weird step into "magic" for a library that has been a pretty damn thin layer on top of JS for so long, I fully agree with that. Using it is somewhat pleasant in terms of terseness, but very unpleasant for the
