JS community will never stop to surprise me, both in negative and positive ways. This is certainly a great idea and I no wonder it came out of JS people.
Of course we got some fatigue in the ecosystem, but things like Webpack Dashboard strengthens my belief the fatigue is a tradeoff worth to pay.
BTW. if you like Blessed, certainly check out react-blessed: https://github.com/Yomguithereal/react-blessed https://github.com/Yomguithereal/react-blessed
- smnscu 10y agoI always wondered, can blessed/react-blessed be used in the browser? I've been looking for a good JS terminal emulator for a while (not something like [1] that connects to an actual shell session). Actually, this thing featured on HN recently via Nodal looks promising [2]. 1: https://github.com/chjj/tty.js/ https://github.com/chjj/tty.js/ 2: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cmnd https://www.npmjs.com/package/cmnd
- cel1ne 10y agoI think it stems from the language with it's simple untyped syntax and data-structures. I like larger projects to be typed and my favorite language at the moment is definitely kotlin, but for quick prototyping I really like hacking things together in JS.

- methyl 10y agoIt's not just about being typed or not. I know huge, successful Ruby codebases which is not typed. Ruby ecosystem is just much more consistent and convenient than JS.
- cel1ne 10y agoI know ruby. I worked with "merb" for a project (before it became rails 3) and use it for shellscripts from time to time. Still JS is somehow more pleasurable, but I guess it's a matter of taste.
- masukomi 10y agoJust to be clear for folks who don't know. Ruby is _strongly_ typed, but it's also _dynamically_ typed not _statically_ typed.
