I know that complaining about concrete syntax is a noob move, but I'm doing a whirlwind tour of "what's new in Web frontend" and I don't understand why everyone thinks inventing their own cybernetically-augmented HTML is better than what React does (just use JSX and quasi-quote to switch to normal JavaScript). Maybe it's because I'm just too used to React? Do software developers actually prefer these Handlebars-esque templating languages?
I thought I understood Rice's theorem, but I'm having trouble reconciling that with the Wikipedia entry: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice's_theorem
The first sentence is "Rice's theorem states that all non-trivial semantic properties of programs are undecidable." I always understood Rice's theorem in terms of properties of functions, not the programs that compute those functions. As written, the statement seems too strong. Or is "semantic" just doing a ton of work here?

Now that @ivory is released, my temptation to switch entirely to Mastodon has redoubled…if only they could add the old Tweetbot themes :')
The problem is, so far, doing things my way and ignoring "the right way" has worked really well for me.
I still want to talk to you about the affect and aesthetics of programming. https://slim.computer
