Agree, the article mentions this in a way:

> There are many ways to do so: race others in ranked online challenges, try to solve hard programming riddles, or study new paradigms. However, most programmers, whose work involves a form of writing, overlook writing itself.

The point is that sometimes that "doing" doesn't advance you, as it's not challenging anymore. Writing can be a form of deliberate effort to improve in your craft. There are many other ways to improve, the post focuses on one.

I was hoping for 5, but got hundreds

This is a unusual post for me, as is the first one I write on methodologies as opposed to technologies. Constructive criticism welcome.

Great writing and research. You added great examples to make it clear, both in code and gifs. It was both fun to read and interesting. I was surprised to see Netscape running, I might try as well to play with the first JavaScript.

> The purpose of MCAS is to give the MAX the same aircraft handling characteristics so that it retains the original 737's type rating.

The article mentions that prominently in a few paragraphs, this is the first one:

“That's because the major selling point of the 737 Max is that it is just a 737, and any pilot who has flown other 737s can fly a 737 Max without expensive training, without recertification, without another type of rating.”

Yes and no. The syntax has been updated to make it less OCaml and more JavaScript-like.

ReasonML can compile to native, rescript can’t. Reason still exists as a separate project, and projects that have been rewritten into reason will not necessarily switch.

Typescript is “breath-first,” you can convert your entire project to typescript in a minimal pull-request. Gradually adopting the syntax.

ReScript requires a lot of commitment, as you have to completely rewrite each module to 100% comply with the type algorithm.

Typescript even transpiles when it encounters type errors.

Nice writing
