Notesnook ( https://notesnook.com/ ) - it's open source, has its own importer making it super easy to migrate, is fully cross platform, and doesn't force you to learn-and-relearn a…

Sucrase is faster or really close to SWC (see rhe benchmarks https://github.com/alangpierce/sucrase ). Everyone still uses Babel because of the transforms. And yes, Babel can also …

Sucrase is proof that JS is not the problem when it comes to slow performance. JS is not slow. NodeJS is not slow. It's the code that is slow. All these people wanting to write it …

The audience is hackers as it should be. You can't cater to daily users at this stage. You want people who can potentially fix the bugs they come across or add the features they mi…

I think people are looking at this the wrong way. It's not so much about the code as it is about establishing an authority. Musk takeover is often regarded as banditry and I wouldn…
