the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would dispense a can of escargot out of one of the unused drive bays. they put it in the corner so you wouldn't press it by accident because you only got three of them. i pushed it once and got grounded

in case you missed it, the first react compiler beta dropped

among other things is official support for React 17+ so you can try it even with an old React (and yes, version 17 is four years old, which is about seventy five in the javascript years)
