That's litterally less step. It's just a comment above a function. How is that more steps?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't mind build step but this is objectively less steps.

If you want type safety and no build step you do like svelte did and use jsdoc instead. You can run the typescript type checker on those annotations so if you care about not having a build step you can still have type safety.

Also, a huge proportion of the list is just not understanding IEEE floats behaviour and blaming the language for it. Exactly like this post is doing. All those weird number things js does is because it only uses floats for everything and every language that uses floats will behave the exact same way.

Why would reshade be relevant? I don't get why without reshade is even worth mentioning?
