> The oldest: GC was originally invented for Lisp. It's common now.
LISP was so ahead of its time, its parents still haven't met yet. Not very FP, but another gem from SBCL: saving and restoring program state for later use. Now there's the CRIU [0] project for doing this with Linux and Docker containers.

I'm not too familiar with the full scope of algebraic data types. Wondering: does Typescript have this or is it still missing a few key components? Really like how it has Union types, which I wish Scala would have.
