I asked ChatGPT to do these things and am saving the responses here for posterity.
Write me a specification for a programming language that is similar to JavaScript but doesn’t suck.
Here’s a specification for a new programming language that takes the best features of JavaScript and improves upon its shortcomings:
Syntax: The syntax of the language should be similar to JavaScript, with slight modifications to improve readability and reduce the likelihood of syntax errors. For example, the language should require semicolons to end statements, as this eliminates a common source of bugs in JavaScript.
Type System: The language should have a static type system to catch type-related errors at compile time, rather than at runtime. This will improve the reliability and performance of the code. The language should also support type inference to make declaring types optional.
Null & Undefined Handling: The language should have a clear distinction between null and undefined values, and should provide built-in null safety mechanisms to prevent null reference errors. The language should also provide an option to declare variables as non-nullable, which will further increase the reliability of the code.
Modules: The language should have a built-in module system that supports both CommonJS and ES modules, making it easier to manage dependencies and prevent global namespace pollution.
Standard Library: The language should have a robust standard library that provides commonly used functions, such as map, filter, and reduce, out of the box. This will reduce the amount of boilerplate code needed to get started with a new project.
Concurrency: The language should have native support for asynchronous programming, allowing developers to write non-blocking code that can handle multiple tasks at once.
Memory Management: The language should have automatic memory management to help prevent memory leaks. The language should also provide options for manual memory management, for those who need more fine-grained control.
Performance: The language should have a focus on performance, with optimizations for modern hardware and techniques such as Just-In-Time (JIT) compiling to improve the runtime speed of code.
Tooling: The language should have a strong ecosystem of development tools, including an advanced debugger, a profiler, and integrated development environment (IDE) plugins.
Interoperability: The language should be designed to be compatible with existing JavaScript code, making it easy to reuse existing code and libraries. The language should also provide options for seamless interoperability with other programming languages, such as C, C++, and Rust.

Write me a fictional short story about how a Sith Lord became president of the United States.
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, there lived a Sith Lord named Darth Politicus. He was one of the most powerful and feared Dark Lords of the Sith, known for his cunning, manipulation, and mastery of the Force. However, he had grown tired of the constant battles and power struggles within the Galactic Empire and desired a new challenge.
One day, Darth Politicus set his sights on a new challenge: becoming the President of the United States. He realized that in order to achieve this goal, he would have to conceal his true identity and powers, and present himself as a charismatic and competent politician.
Over the years, Darth Politicus rose through the ranks of the political world, using his mastery of the Force to sway people’s emotions and gain their trust. His speeches were mesmerizing, and he became known as a visionary who could solve any problem with his unwavering determination. He soon declared his candidacy for the presidency and, to the surprise of many, won the election in a landslide victory.
As the President of the United States, Darth Politicus ruled with an iron fist, using his power and influence to further the interests of the Sith Empire. He disbanded the military and formed a personal army of stormtroopers, instilling fear in the hearts of his subjects. He also erected massive statues of himself throughout the country, reminding everyone of his authority and power.
The people of the United States soon realized that they had made a terrible mistake in electing Darth Politicus as their leader. He was a ruthless dictator who cared only for his own power and interests. But it was too late. The country was now under the control of a Sith Lord, and the once-great United States was no more.
In the end, Darth Politicus became one of the most powerful leaders in the galaxy, ruling over multiple planets and species with an iron fist. He remained in power for many years, his legend and power growing with each passing day. The people of the United States were left to wonder how they could have been so blind to the evil that had taken hold of their country, and how they could have allowed a Sith Lord to become their president.
