What exactly open source technologies will give you feature parity and better support than microsoft's BI stack?

Would love an answer on this one. I implemented the MSFT BI stack into a product for no other reason than we were already using MSFT. However, each time I look at OSS BI stacks I feel like I'm losing out on something.

I wish they left a flag for the people running their own npm mirror. Other than that, it's hard not to be impressed by how quickly they made another release. Congratulations!

It looks like setting an environment variable CH_ATA_ENABLE will turn it back on:

That is interesting, I did not know that. Still, I don't want to use TypeScript for the reasons I wrote. I'm as minimalist as possible, and I don't want to use a language that changes my code to something else without any gain for me since I can write exactly what I want in ES 2015+ already. So it's just those types, and I could get them from "Flow" too and in that case keep my ES 2015+ code. Yes I know TypeScript is…

> I don't want to use a language that changes my code to something else TypeScript doesn't change your code. If you're writing ES2015 code and targeting ES2015 emit, the output code is always exactly what you put in. There isn't any difference.

I guess I'll have to look into that again then.

Electron is a great framework. I've used the same applications on several OS's, each seemed stable and fully functional.

I'm curious why Atom gets so much crap for being an Electron app, whereas VS Code is generally praised for it's speed. Are they doing something significantly different from each other?

Because Microsoft pays people to shill for them on media sources like Hackernews.

The text editor component (i.e. the part people are most likely referring to when discussing performance) is completely different between Atom and VS Code. No relation at all between the two codebases. VS Code's derives from Visual Studio Online.

There's nothing that's really comparable at the moment, so far as I know. It's not one of the pieces we've been able to replace.

This comes up every time there's an Atom or VSCode post, but I've yet to see a good explanation of the architectural differences that contribute to the performance differences. Does anyone have the scoop?

All I know is that the typescript code used in VS code looks almost like C#. Interfaces etc. I had a good look at the github.

I can only assume that leads to a very low leakyness and low memory usage.
