Yeah I second this. Despite having a superior type system, flow is so behind in both tooling and 3rd party library definitions it's really hard to justify continuing to use it over…

Really cool that this is built completely from scratch. I expected a dependency on something like d3 at least.

This is why electron is so popular

My question would be what's the alternative? Cross platform native apps rarely look as good, and would require entirely new code bases and different sets of developers. Sure electr…

So if we were to have a rational debate, what points did he have, and points did his opponents have?

Although it wouldn't work if you were using objects and wanted to do a deep comparison e.g. [...new Set([{x: 1}, {x: 1}])]

If you wanted to do O(n) functionally, you could do [1, 1, 2, 3, 4].filter( (obj => x => { if (obj[x]) { return false; } obj[x] = true; return true; })({}), ); What's happening is …

Yeah you're reading it wrong. This is for node so it'd never be client side, and I'm sure the pw examples are in plaintext just for simplicity in the README.

All those machines are owned by Google or Apple though. They're not completely random machines.

Really liked the blog post. Elixir and the capabilities of the BEAM VM seems really awesome, but I can't really find an excuse to really use them in my day to day anywhere.

Lol now I feel bad for perhaps coming off a bit too harsh. I appreciate you taking my feedback into consideration. Best of luck with your company!

* Why do I have to download an 8MB payload on load, most of which consists of 1MB+ PNGs, which aren't even visible until I scroll? * Why are you doing some unintuitive scroll-jacki…

Operator mono I think. It costs a lot.

Short answer is yes. TypeScript to JS is kinda like C++ to C. You can learn one before the other and a lot of the skills are transferable.

Because JavaScript 1. By far, has the largest ecosystem. 2. If you use a linter, a typechecker (TS or flow), and transpile your code (TS or babel or both), JavaScript is actually a…

Could you elaborate on the zero allocation part? I made a CSV parser based on yours [0] before the 1.0.0-beta rewrite, and at the very least I have to allocate as much memory to ho…

Ah true. I guess what I was really getting at was that even though JavaScript has some fundamental missteps, it's not beyond being fixed and definitely not the worst language in ex…

It sucks that all of this is valid, but it's mostly avoidable. Eslint + Flow/TypeScript will catch most of these quirks for you. Also lets not pretend that having a bunch of quirks…

Most of the issues you listed with the language itself are fixed by using either Flow or TypeScript. As for that V8 issue, it's not ideal, but how about just putting comments of th…

Was it https://fugue.co ? I think they use Haskell for their DSL

I agree with the general sentiment, but, to nitpick, Facebook uses/is transitioning to http://hacklang.org/ to avoid PHP. They literally wrote a whole new language and built a VM t…

I hope you didn't just throw https://github.com/postgraphql/postgraphql and https://postgrest.com/en/v0.4/ behind some closed source code and called it a business.

What's the motivation for the schemas? Are they just verifying that the APIs haven't changed and are still returning what you'd expect them to? I read through https://github.com/si…
