    About map/area: Some websites still use them, and really well too. The Team Fortress 2 website[0] uses them with the images at the top of the page to link each of the characters' d…

    I have been waiting for a strongly typed mainstream high level language for a long time (TypeScript doesn't count because all type information is stripped during runtime). PHP stil…
