I personally believe that people just answer the question “do you visualize?” differently. I used to think I had “aphantasia” but like you said, you see it without seeing it. If your eyes and brain are functioning at all, your brain is perfectly capable of creating colorful images. Just look around. Those colors you see? That’s your brain.

It is absolutely not bait. Declarative programming for the web is certainly more pleasant, but direct DOM manipulation will always and forever have a performance upper hand over rendering frameworks that sit atop the DOM. Now this performance difference is usually negligible, but for projects like VSCode or this, there’s a very good reason they aren’t written using frameworks.

SQLite essentially achieves this as well by keeping the entire database in one file. It’s even faster than the filesystem in some cases: https://www.sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html

Thank you for informing me. I feel dumb for having chuckled.

Seems like kind of a crazy thing to say. The first thing to note, is that we should obviously be free to write software like games and other utilities in whatever language we want, especially if they’re not connected to the internet. Second, why exactly are we demonizing people now? Suddenly declaring a language deprecated not only doesn’t actually make any sense, but also seems like a great way to influence people’s personal opinions about others. I can tell you from experience that sentiments like this breed hostility in the workplace. And finally, this is pretty short-sighted, considering the supply chain attack is clearly the attack of the coming age.
