Initial commit: Jun 24, 2025. Already has a migration path from 0.x to 1.x.

When you need to calculate a square root of 12.345 during a physics exam, professor doesn't care that you use a calculator, because the exam doesn't test your calculating ability. But it does test your knowledge of physics. What is the point of allowing LLM use during such a test?

Am I the only one, who is frightened, that current stable version of React is almost two years old? Even if React#19 will be mostly backwards compatible (I hope), how many subtle differences will be introduced?
