I have worked with java in the past and I work with Typescript now.
My experience is in reverse. Typescript system it's limited because it has to be compatible with javacript, but working with Algebraic data types is a joy.

I suspect something more complicated. Zuckerberg doesn't want to loose users so they give users what they want. Any social networks has to compite against other social networks so they go for users engagement and profit first.

Side effects go to the border of the app. You keep track if for some message X you have sended the email, so you garantie that you send it once.
If I remember well was a phrase used by Oppenheimer about the atomic bomb, a sentence that he read from Bhagavad Gita.

Quantum numbers have a very nice property: they allow express sum of angles as multiplication. So anything periodic can take advantage of this property. Even if it's not periodic if you can take advantage of Fourier Transformation you can use complex numbers.

We don't need slavery today because we have machines. But in the past if an empire didn't practice slavery implied that other empires will conquer you and slave you. So slavery was required for survival.
It's today that this debate is clear. In ancient times, the reverse was true.
