Except const is not sufficient. It will prevent the reference from being reassigned but the const can still reference a mutable object.

Maybe you haven’t seen this yet, but there is a (recent) option to fork a conversation when you click on the thee dots of a reply.

True, but GDP is often a decent proxy for material living standards, especially across countries and over time (so long as we note what it leaves out).

That’s not a small cycle count for a normal household. 90 × 24 = 2,160 total hours.

I sous vide now and then, about twice a week for 6 hours each, so around 12 hours a week. That works out to roughly 15 years of usable machine time for the average person.

Not bad at all.

> if Imba offers a new approach it fails to communicate this on the landing page and focuses on code compression instead.

Fair enough. While it does touch upon `memoized DOM`, you're correct; it might not be sufficient for readers to grasp the full implications unless they're well-versed in these kinds of libraries. For a deeper dive, you can check out this subpage: https://imba.io/guides/rendering. BTW, I don't have any affiliation with this library whatsoever.

> I just wonder, whether a new language is necessary to achieve this.

To achieve compression, no. But to achieve DOM reconciliation without a v-dom, yes.

I feel like you missed the point of Imba. It's not solely focused on code compression (although that does appear to be a secondary objective). Instead, Imba is all about empowering developers to create declarative user interfaces without the typical complexities that often accompany such tasks, like dealing with reactivity, signals, custom directives, v-dom, and so on.

Opa was ahead of its time by at least 10 years. Have you seen Electric Clojure [0]?

What an amazing story! I have to admit, I was a bit apprehensive while reading through it.
