Incomprehensible for outsiders. Though, any script can be fit into "square" writing.

That's nice but I don't really like when they rename some APIs.. That brings breaking changes you know.

I basically had to disable entire VS Code. Didn't remove it yet and keep it just in case I need to remember how crappy it's. It has some advantages over neovim though, but they don't outhweigh neovim.

It's not a Type System denouncement, it's denouncement of crappy TS and that's the right choice.

This. Pseudo-runtimes can't guarantee anything.

I think they won't as certain parts might have migrated to new engines without being changed much. Like geometry engine etc.

Pure trash. Sorry for telling you. There are all sorts of jokes around it now. Nobody wanted to weark Google's glasses back then, won't do it now either.

Still, this comes at cost of new complexity. They just createa and abstraction over different operating system APIs. This isn't something cool really. Now they trying to obsolete Webgl. What a joke..

Sadly all of this comes at cost of necessaty to lear new webgl and new API whic isn't good. I would expect to have something similar to a Vulkan one. This is not good.
