Comment on Big projects are ditching TypeScript… wtf? - The Code Report
atheken@programming.dev 1 year agoI loathe this line of reasoning. It’s like saying “unless you wrote assembly, compiling your code could change what it does.”
Guess what, the CPU reorders/ellides assembly, too! You can’t trust anything!

Haha, what is this, the 90s?
Assembled instructions aren’t even the lowest non-hardware stage in instruction execution. There’s proprietary microcode sitting a level below your typical x86 ISA.

I know, but I didn’t want to scare the children.
I also choose to pretend it’s just little gnomes moving the bytes around. Less magic.

What are electrons, but a miserable pile of little magic gnomes? But enough talk… have a upvote!
