Where is the study? What constitutes a lot?

ETA: This press release relates to this study published Sept 3rd 2025 https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000214023 https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-09-11-toxic-artificial-swee... https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/sugar-substitutes-not-s...

  Adults under 60 who consumed the most artificial sweeteners — averaging 191 milligrams daily — experienced a 62% faster decline in memory and thinking skills compared to low or non-users.

191 milligrams a day would be like two 355ml coke zeros a day according to https://www.coca-cola.com/ca/en/brands/coca-cola/products/co...

I think WhatsApp is still using Erlang and they are biggest messaging app in the world. Discord is using Elixir but it's more niche. I think if you look at use cases where they excel, you will find them there.

  Their security team should vet all of these devices, create environments where it's safe for them to be on the network, and ensure they're kept up to date also?

Yes? How else would they test anything?

Does toilet training your cat introduce a significant health hazard through toxoplasma gondii into the surrounding environment? It's so hard to tell if your local wastewater plant takes care of this...
