We built the website using the popular React framework. Using React was
easy. Ultimately, we want to spend our time writing compilers, not
writing websites.
It no longer does. Well, almost: the carousel spins better with

Good news: the website is now static HTML and loads fine without
JavaScript. You can even browse it with <code>curl</code>.
