There's actually a library called ast-grep which does something very similar to what you're describing. They have an example in their introduction which performs a find and replace…

Yes, as you pointed out, not only can bundlers tree shake namespace imports, but they're literally used in the esbuild documentation to demonstrate the concept of tree shaking. The…

Alternatively, with namespace imports in JS you can write [1]: import * as someLibrary from "some-library" someLibrary.someFunction() Which works pretty well with IDE autocomplete …

Somewhat related: you technically can access some type metadata in TypeScript at runtime using the `emitDecoratorMetadata` and `experimentalDecorators` tsconfig options, along with…

Enums and parameter properties can be enabled with the --experimental-transform-types CLI option. Not being able to import TypeScript files without including the ts extension is de…

In Node 22.7 and above you can enable features like enums and parameter properties with the --experimental-transform-types CLI option (not to be confused with the old --experimenta…

Node does have a permissions system, but it's opt in. Many runtimes/interpreters either have no sandbox at all, or they're opt in, which is why Deno's sandbox is an upgrade, even i…

The repeat directive I mentioned as an example of a custom looping control flow construct used in a tagged template is the exact same one another commenter later mentioned (and you…

I certainly don't think I'm talking past you, but I can't force you to elaborate.

JSX was also created with the intention of using traditional conditional/looping constructs, but that hasn't stopped Solid and Preact from repurposing it for fine grained reactivit…

You clearly have an axe to grind, and I'm not particularly interested in proselytizing. If you don't find the Declarative Shadow DOM useful, that's fine! The example I was respondi…

> First off, what’s with the pointless JavaScript? There’s no need for imperative code here. Exactly, I'm not sure why you've included the JS. The whole point of the Declarative Sh…

You absolutely can. It's the primary purpose of the DSD (Declarative Shadow DOM), one of the many new specifications people complain incessantly about. ::slotted(*) { font-weight: …

> you have to explicitly specify mode: open The mode does not toggle the shadow DOM on and off. It just specifies whether or not the element's shadowRoot object is a public propert…

It's worth pointing out that Node has a built in globbing function: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v24.x/api/fs.html#fspromisesg... > Also there's arguably design. Should a 'glob' …

Rather than fixating on this single Prisma example, I'd like to address your larger point which seems to be that all greenfield projects are necessarily best suited to low level la…
