I agree on the high-profile hack/outage being plausible, and I'd argue that would be the most likely thing to kill Twitter.

Twitter is definitely full of entangled arcane hacks that keep it running. There's definitely people working there who relied on shifting knowledge that was never written down anywhere.

"Twitter just stops working forever" is a very plausible outcome! I'm so excited!

i could not have imagined a real person actually calling that queer baiting

i am interpreting this person as generously as i can but i can not imagine any worldview where 'rust is queerbaiting' is both coherent and true

Python's types are Turing Complete too, but that makes sense because types are classes which interact with one another through code.

But in addition to types, Python has type hints! But the type hints have no semantic meaning, and are compiled away. Despite this, Python's type hints are turing complete too.
