JS will eat TypeScript just like it ate CoffeeScript. A bigger bite maybe but still very delicious. Thanks for doing all that hard work for JS, Microsoft.

I would expect a huge qualitative difference in our favor when it comes to war strategy and execution, not to mention that we are far ahead in our experience "managing" a war on the world stage, and that we still have an edge in military technology and war machine maintenance. China would ultimately resort to having just one option, like Russia, to use or not use their nukes, which is an end of world scenario.

Happy Soltice to you, too. I cringe that we have to end a tree's life so that we may maintain some tradition.
