    Sometimes OOM Killer can stop it before it wrecks too much havoc, but often everything grinds to a complete halt and I have to just power cycle.

    Hmm, yeah before "DeltaDB" I have a big list of things I would rather they develop/fix: - Vertical activity bar ( https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/58868#issuecommen... - …

    yeah you'd have to make a "mathematical grammar" to cover all the cases. one problem with current mathematical notation is that it is optimized for writing by hand, not with keyboa…

    My example was contrived, I'm sure some smart people could come up with a SQL-esque language that is even more readable to non-technical folks than programming syntax. At a certain…

    No, the problem with mathematics is that it is basically its own language separate from your native tongue. You have to learn dozens of symbols and greek letters and such and memor…

    You don't need a bundler, just a type stripper. And yeah you need a middleware to perform the type stripping, the server won't do it automatically, but it's like 10 lines of backen…

    Why doesn't it make sense? I actually do exactly this in my own setup, but with golang instead of Node.

    Presumably Node is the server (back end), and when the browser requests a TS file, Node is stripping the types before serving it to the browser.

    Not everyone is building complex UIs like google sheets. Most people are building static pages with a sprinkle of interactivity, or maybe form pages for doing CRUD.

    Even better: vanilla TypeScript + golang middleware (esbuild) on the backend that converts to JS on the fly. Like vanilla JS but with all the benefits of a type system and no bundl…

    Go needs a good static analyzer to detect potential nil pointer dereferences. That would help identify and eliminate any unnecessary nil checks. .NET has a good one for C#.

    Ban infinite scroll? Sounds like a slippery slope and also hard to enforce. I don't even know how you would craft such a law.
