Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.

Every time I go back to writing TS I'm always thoroughly disappointed. It's simultaneously significantly more effort than JS while also being significantly less helpful than Elm. When I wat JS like low level access or such, I'd rather write JS. When I want static types for web, I'd rather write Elm.
