#222While it's always great to see performance gains, my largest pain point with prettier was never performance. Instead my only gripe with prettier is the "line wrapping noise" it creates, illustrated here by Anthony Fu: https://antfu.me/posts/why-not-prettier#the-line-wrapping-no... Would it be realistic to expect a solution for this issue now that "prettier needs to step up it's game"?
Some things overlooked in that blog post for others to take into consideration: - eslint only works on javascript + typescript (eslint + typescript needs _more_ configuration than eslint + prettier), while prettier works on https://github.com/prettier/prettier/blob/03ebc7869dc9e8f2fc... - eslint + prettier doesn't need lots of configuration from the user. You add eslint-plugin-prettier and say `"extends": ["plugin:pr…
For the record, prettier can also be extended to support more languages[3].

I think you may be a bit confused on what's the purpose behind WASIX, Stephen. And you are mistakenly polarizing between two very valid options for different use cases. We are not trying to push WASIX, we are trying to move forward sockets, threads, subprocesses so they can run fully in Wasm environments. And WASIX is the solution to that problem. WASI Preview 2 on the other hand seems to be focused on other set of p…
According to their roadmap, WASI preview 2 will have threads and sockets. So, in light of that, what is the reason for diverging from WASI and creating WASIX?
WASI Preview 2 still doesn't support threads, fork, subprocesses or longjmp/setjmp (among others). Not even that, when WASIX was created not even sockets were supported in WASI.
I'd recommend trying to compile bash or curl to WASI Preview 2 and WASIX and see how far you get in each before trying to polarize the readers between WASI Preview 2 and WASIX.

A formatter is pretty essential when working in a team. It saves tons of time wasted on code formatting in code reviews.

I'm incredibly curious to hear more on how you think WASIX helps on the company pockets (since is open-source, and even it's governance model is open). I'd love to hear your thoughts, maybe we are missing on some nice business opportunities here!
It's fine to be forthcoming about the financial interests of your projects – this is Hacker News, after all. We live on VC. The tone of your previous comment suggests there is none. I find it hard to believe that anything you would spend your company's time on would not push the mission of the company forward. This creates a financial incentive.

#226I want to use Biome, but until it either has plugins or implements the tailwindcss class sorting itself, I will not be able to adopt it. This is a common sentiment in the fullstack community right now.

Yeah, it's closer to 1.5x. Most companies budget total comp at 150% of salary.
Part of being a freelancer is spending time finding work and doing a variety of things that clients would consider non-billable but still cost time. If you're going to work 40 hours a week, not all 40 will typically be billable in freelancing.
Being a subject matter expert means that you can be paid well for your work, but the numbers of jobs that require expertise in the Kura-Aras river basin can be few are far between.

I'll address the first non-clickbait question and try to provide some insight, as I think you might be a bit confused on how COSS startups work. We don't plan to monetize WASIX. WASIX is just an enabler to allow any program compile to WebAssembly. If other open-source technology existed and fulfilled what we want to accomplish is more than certain we would not have created WASIX. In our case, the community was asking…
Wasmer is a VC company building a platform that depends on the existence of these platform APIs – sockets, threads, forking, etc. They have a vested interest in the existence of these APIs, and the health of the developer ecosystem, to stay alive. From here, it kind of seems like the fundamental foundation of everything Wasmer is building. Meanwhile, Bytecode Alliance is a registered non-profit with many large corpor…
Is refreshing to see at least some honesty. Haters gonna hate, so I personally don't mind. Have a great day!

Of course. I hope the edit is more appropriate. Thank you!
