One thing us developers can do for the environment: Write more efficient software! You might save some electricity, thus making it easier to switch the grid fully over to renewables. But what really matters is for you not to be the reason your users buy new hardware! Depending on how large your audience is and how green your other habits are, this might be the single biggest thing you can do! Probably not though.

Lua, put simply, is the simplest scripting you can imagine! It is based on similar ideas to what JavaScript started with but without the evolutionary pressures into resembling a mainstream programming language. Or rather what Sun convinced us all including academics that a mainstream programming language looks like. Lua was allowed to remain a minimalistic language! (To be clear, as a programming language I don't think JavaScript is terrible. But Lua does look better.) 1/?

@alcinnz May I honestly ask, what are the criterias used to conclude Lua does look better ? (Not trying to contest, I actually don't like reading or writing JS)

@alcinnz that post is infuriating.
@alcinnz This is one of the reasons why I use JavaScript as a last resort when other ways to achieve the desired functionality and design via HTML/CSS have been exhausted.
But what destroyed me the most was @nikitonsky post about a fundamental object and term like "checkbox": https://tonsky.me/blog/checkbox/
