It’s probably time everyone stopped posting garbage about JavaScript.

Nobody uses == or rather no JavaScripter who has bothered to learn the language uses ==. Type coercion was a mistake that was fixed by === a decade ago.

It is fully compatible with the Fantasyland specification for JavaScript functional programming and it aims to be much more straightforward and consistent than Ramda.

Still, a lot can happen in 6 months!
I’m happy I didn’t bet on the 140 char limit staying though. That was already ridiculous back in 2016 and people were constantly using various workarounds.
That limit was abolished earlier this year and Twitter is now making money. It’s now the main foghorn of the president of the United States and other scum and villainy.
I’m also finding it more useful myself personally despite hardly using my account previously. I signed up some time around 2009 and spent most of that time not “getting” it.
Anyway Twitter is now considered too expensive to acquire. I have no idea what its long term prospects are but it seems pretty safe for the present.
