e.g. Building a hut, with cross-bracing so the square-lashed frame doesn't collapse in a light breeze.

Or hanging the ridgeline of a shed roof from a post so it doesn't push the walls out of line.

Or building a truss for a bridge over a creek, instead of a huge arch of stone.

Lots of places statics comes in handy. And we take it for granted, that we know this stuff!

You gotta have `lint` in a post-apocalyptic world though.

[imoverclocked]

Yeah, it's useful for starting fires.

Little known fact: Rome collapsed because they did not use a language that was amenable to type-checking.

Thankfully Rome 2.0 didn't make the same mistake. https://rome.tools/
