If things keep going this direction my job title is just going to be "tool call". I'm a bit intrigued that he ended up happier now that Claude's in the driver's seat and he's playi…

Very nice!

Really fresh approach to site “addons” by just copying in and owning a folder instead of installing a million packages.

Really excited for JS to finally get something similar with Iterator and AsyncIterator helper methods. It's way behind Ruby in that regard. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs…

This is a cool approach. Definitely better than an all-at-once cutover! If only Ruby had better support for static typing though. Clearly infinite dynamism works for some folks and…

I’m working on eslint-plugin-solid for this reason, and while I haven’t implemented this yet (it’s complicated), it will eventually warn when something is wrong with reactivity in …

Nit: to me at least, "Never deal with another freelancer" comes off as unnecessarily harsh (even if it resonates with some). I understand the product is targeted to early-stage sta…

This looks a lot better with the F# proposal: return cb(predicate) |> negate |> filter;

We've suffered under "bad parts" in JavaScript before, and the solution was not to use them, which works out fine for the most part. But I tend to agree, adding a functional langua…

In response to people repeatedly advocating for F# + partial application over Hack, TC39 responds with what is essentially a threat: > To emphasize, it is likely that an attempt to…

Here’s the relevant section: > In most cases, React Native will use JavaScriptCore, the JavaScript engine that powers Safari. Note that on iOS, JavaScriptCore does not use JIT due …

I think React hooks would fit nicely anywhere you need incremental computation, and a compiler is the first thing that comes to mind. They’re made for efficiently updating the outp…

Esbuild does have a JS transform API, so you could write a command line tool that walks the file system (Babel, ESLint, Prettier, etc. all do this so you have examples), transforms…

I’d push it one step further and include “unskilled” labor too. The value added to society is measurably positive no matter the skill level of the immigrant.

Back in college, I had a summer research internship where the previous year, the interns tried to migrate a large Java code base to Gradle and left it in a broken state. Knowing li…

Does Lucet ( https://www.fastly.com/blog/announcing-lucet-fastly-native-w... ) meet those needs?

Good point about conditional compilation. It’s a trade off I’ll leave for language implementors to make. I tend to think that easily preventing a malicious package from sending you…

I would agree with you, except that LLVM IR isn’t platform independent. For all of Wasm’s warts it’s the best supported low level cross platform IR we have.

I think Wasm outside the browser could benefit package managers. As far as I know, Rust and some other compiled languages distribute their crates/packages in source code form, whic…
