A corollary to that is that if the meat is closer to target temperature when it leaves the pan, you should rest the meat for less time. I don't think this is part of the conventional wisdom.
What language are you thinking of?

Once you see the bijection between imperative programming and imperative programming in a monad, you'll be angry for all the wasted hours.
Then again, you'll be able to understand this satire piece, so who's to say if the time was wasted.

But, AFAICT, to overbuild consumption the capital cost is so high that it does not make much economic sense.
As much as I like to hate Scala, in my past experience if you have sbt console open, then hit compile after every few changes the feedback loop is tight-ish - barring crazy Scala features being used.
Build code in Mill is pretty declarative. You're using the word to mean "not 'pure, serialized data'".

They can, however, run the code to dump the structure.
It's easy for code to embed pure data; on the flip side it's hard to encode behaviour in serialized data. More often than custom Maven plugins I see people just drop down to using shell.
If you have any complexity, programming against a good abstraction (Gradle is not good good, but decent) beats finding the magical incantation of configuration to get the tool to do what you want.
Some deep PL stuff I doubt there is productivity gain to begin with. But many ideas in the ML language family are simple and reduce debugging pain. Time lost from one encounter with muddy JS/Python semantics is more than the time learning about sum types.
When churches had significant power and shaped the discourse and culture for the worse (I am not so sure if it's worse anymore), I definitely was quite annoyed at them.
Clothing companies often tout how much of their polyester fibre is from recycled sources. It's ironic how plastic recycling being perceived as "good" contributes to the problem.
The "known problem" is plastic going to the landfill, which is barely a concern. awongh's original comment mentioned two plastic problems worthy of concern - microplastic and ocean plastic. Neither of that is related to disposable plastic going to the landfill.
