Notable people

gollark: Possibly Good Stuff:* TypeScript - your code can actually be typechecked reasonably well* React - very nice declarative rendering of stuff* async/await - whilst not as good as monadic whatevers, it does make asynchronous stuff much nicer* Ramda - very nice functional utilities
gollark: I do quite like *some* of JS, just not... most?
gollark: We need this in a library; people can't implement this on their own without being professional developers.
gollark: And, well, `x % 2 === 0` is also astoundingly complex. I mean, look at that weird squiggly confusing thing that very senior, experienced developers call "modulus"!
gollark: As we all know, `typeof x === "number"` is so very complicated that to ensure people can do it easily - without getting it wrong by falling into one of many, many pitfalls - it has to be in a library.
