After reading the post, and re-reading the opening, it almost seems they are about two different posts. e.g. "Jot down a few notes" vs actually going meta with yourself in the middle about how the post isn't even halfway. That doesn't really make a lot of sense.
That you then expect the reader to want to read all this _after_ already having watched the video seems a bit gratuitous? Perhaps it would've been better built as something interactive or graphical so you wouldn't need to explain as much of the mechanics.
I did find it interesting, but had to lol at `{fn, args}`: I've spent the last few years working on Live, a not-React run-time, which has exactly that type for its deferred calls. It was inspired by the same idea of treating JSX tags as just `fn(...args)` in drag.
I've always been curious to hear your opinion on Use.GPU / Live. There is a keynote video linked here https://usegpu.live/ https://usegpu.live/ if you're interested.
- danabramov 2y agoOh! I didn’t expect the reader to want anything. :) When I started writing the post, I genuinely thought it would be “a few notes”, especially since I had a writer’s block for this topic for almost two years. Then it just kept on going. I know the beginning understates what it ended up being but I thought that mismatch was funny so I kept it. Maybe our sense of humor is slightly different. Re Live, I actually don’t know anything about it! Unfortunately I also don’t know anything about graphics programming so it might be tricky for me to evaluate. I’ll check it out though.
