gollark: 2050: JavaScript development is conducted entirely on Google gPhones™. Hello World imports over 2000 packages, one of which is deprecated per day. Types have now been deprecated and everything is implicitly converted based on a 1000-page spec nobody ever reads. Applications take up about 50GB of space each and use about half of a recent 60GHz carbon-nanotube ARMv18 CPU's processing power. Each browser tab uses 1TB of RAM, more if it's playing videos.
