Howard.[6] During the late 1970s Aiello studied on the Barro Colorado Island at a field station operated by the Smithsonian.[7]

gollark: No, it all runs on the main thread due to JS bad.
gollark: This is not actually better. The total size remains constantish.
gollark: JS frameworks also get shoved in a lot in place of static pages, which is moronically stupid on various levels.
gollark: It contains unreasonably large amounts of code compared to better alternatives.
gollark: 🐝 you, this is bad justification for using a thing. React is large and inefficient and I disagree with some of its design decisions.
