This comment is a meta-critique on the blog itself. I've noticed a recent trend arising on the web of applying a text shadow to code to make it seem like it's glowing. I don't know where people started thinking this was a good idea but I hope it doesn't gain too much traction. When I saw it in this blog, I blinked and rubbed my eyes because I actually thought my vision was blurring...

Another nitpick which may be totally invalid and I'm open to being educated on this. It seems odd (i.e. inaccurate) that, at the end, the myProgram.bundle.js is being called an "executable binary." It's just minified JavaScript. Is it a binary because it has been minified and optimized, or is all JavaScript suddenly considered "binary?"

I'm guessing that "binary" can be interpreted as "blob of unreadable mess when opened in a text editor"

re: "binary", i think the article just uses the term incorrectly – it's probably intended to mean "single file thing you invoke directly". i'm guessing they didn't just say "script" bc of possible confusion with <script> tags
