Evolution has no goals, not even survival. Evolution is something that happens. Some species survive for a while, others don't.

Think of it like saying water has the goal of flowing down the mountain along the path of least resistance. Of course it doesn't, it's just something that happens. There's no goal.

Do they reveal "novel" tricks they didn't create?

It's one thing to reveal standards like the cups and ball, but another entirely different to spoil a recent trick a living magician is still making money off. I don't think they do the latter.

The balls and cups with transparent cups is still amazing, by the way.

On Fool Us they do their own acts as well.

And what's remarkable to me is how nice they are to the other magicians, how willing to help and celebrate them, never heckle them. These are genuinely cool guys.

They don't allow stooges in the show.

And the magician cannot lie, since he/she has to convincingly explain how the trick works to the producers, beforehand.

What is wrong with Java's tooling and ecosystem? Asking because it used to be the default a decade or so ago, with a vibrant ecosystem, so I find your remark surprising.
