Notes

  1. Lavery, Ships of the Line, vol. 1, p. 164.
gollark: <@!285523573601337347> I suggest you look at Typescript. It's basically JS, with optional typing, to catch bugs.
gollark: Webpack is pretty common, but I like Parcel because the config for webpack is somewhat nasty.
gollark: Isn't that more for static-ish sites?
gollark: I consider stuff a vector/resizable array instead of just an array if it's a length (and maybe capacity) plus a pointer to some data.
gollark: That's probably one of the nice times when it won't be as bad, then.
