It seems to me this accounting is missing the significant financial contribution many companies make to open source by way of paying employees to contribute, either part time or fu…

I'm really happy to see this. As fumbled as the launch was, I played it on PC and found the world and its characters to have more depth than I'd personally experienced in a video g…

Hey folks, I've been working with wycats and my colleague Chirag Patel on Starbeam for the last few months. We prefer to work in the open, but this repo is still a work in progress…

When I joined LinkedIn 4 years ago, the JavaScript infrastructure was a mess. We had a tool called `just` that integrated with the existing Java infrastructure, including Node vers…

Wowwwwww

It’s strange this article effectively pins the attack on Iran, but doesn’t mention Stuxnet/Olympic Games, a malware attack on Iran that destroyed nearly 1,000 of their centrifuges[…

I was just in Medellín for JSConf Colombia a week ago. It was my first time in Colombia and I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I was blown away by how friendly and engaged the d…

For folks who want to play around with this, we've got an interactive playground at https://try.glimmerjs.com/ that lets you add components, templates and helper functions. In a no…

Ember doesn't have a PATENTS file.

The process of getting content on to the web has historically been pretty daunting, and is IMO much easier now than the bad old days when a .com domain cost $99/year and hosting fi…

I don't think the binary AST proposal changes the accessibility status quo. In my mind, the best analogy is to gzip, Brotli, etc. If you had to have a complicated toolchain to prod…

Certainly not dead! One of the nice things about VS Code/Monaco is how easy they make it to embed the editor in the browser. With Glimmer, for example, I was able to hack together …

Yep, this is pretty spot on! At a high level, the Glimmer VM is built on top of two primitives: 1. References (as you describe, an interface implementation to provide the underlyin…

The Glimmer runtime is under 30k, and we have not done much bundle optimization yet so hopefully this should go down a little bit even further. React Fiber is currently just over 7…

This is because we recently added the ability to specify a blueprint as an npm package, and it hasn't made it out of canary channel yet. If you don't want to install canary Ember C…

JSX vs. templates is a common debate, with popular JSX options like React and Preact and template-based options like Vue and Glimmer. The reality is that there are hard tradeoffs t…

The API docs themselves are a Glimmer app: https://glimmerjs.com/api/ . The source code is here: https://github.com/glimmerjs/glimmer-api-docs You may also enjoy the prerequisite t…

A legitimate question! One thing people really love about Ember is that the process for going from nothing to a working app is very streamlined. Typically, this is not the case wit…

I'm excited for this and eagerly look forward to adopting it in Ember as soon as it's mature, but I'm guessing this is still at least a few years out.

WebAssembly doesn't give you access to DOM APIs, so it's not like you could rewrite Angular in wasm, for example. Most load time/parse time discussions are in the context of web fr…

I tweetstormed about this once. https://mobile.twitter.com/tomdale/status/786950181522636801
