Reasonable and educated people in the US should be more critical of their own government which wages wars all around the world. China isn't a saint either but let's be real.

From the peers.

Gender imbalance on it's own doesn't say everything. You should actually talk with women in STEM. Many of them shared their horrible experiences so far.

Marx never specified how “country-wide implementation” should look like, Marxism-Leninism was the most common one. Escaping capitalism in today's world is impossible because the moment you decide to work on different economic model and distance yourself from IMF you'll sign your death sentence. Big players will never allow that.

They're all weakly typed languages but C is statically typed.

Content like this is a pure gold for us self-taught developers.

You don't do manual memory management in Rust either. AFAIK (correct me if I'm wrong), even in C++ manual memory management is discouraged in favor of RAII.

Also, in Python integers do not overflow, unlike in Rust, C and other buggy languages.

There is no such thing as a buggy language. Software can be buggy (or language implementation), but not the language. And the reason you do not have integer overflow is because integers are implemented as integer objects of arbitrary size, which is great if you're doing something quick and dirty, but could be disastrous for a serious work.

James Clear talks about this in his book Atomic Habits. Basically people are happier during the _process_ of trying to accomplish some goal than when they actually accomplish that goal.

You can configure TypeScript to give you the output for older versions of ECMAScript. No need to limit yourself and you get many benefits (not just strict typing but also some constructs like interfaces and enums to easily scale your codebase).

You can have small developer time with other technologies too (JavaScript, Go, Elixir etc) and get some additional benefits compared to PHP. Honestly I don't see the reason to use PHP today unless you have to;

1. Maintain existing PHP codebase

2. Your team only knows PHP
