Aside: Bloomberg JS blog? ok.

  Bloomberg has a pretty large software engineering department, including a lot of offshore contractors. Similar to Walmart Labs that does cool stuff as well, despite being part of a retail chain (retail industry typically sees SWEs a cost, not asset).

  What surprises you? Terminal UI is written in JS using Chromium. It’s not just plain Chromium, but it’s still funny that it’s pretty much same approach as universally (according to HN and Reddit) hated Electron. https://youtu.be/uqehwCWKVVw?is=wBijGwdD2k2jIOu7 https://youtu.be/uqehwCWKVVw?is=wBijGwdD2k2jIOu7

  Yep. You can learn more about why we created this new blog here: https://bloomberg.github.io/js-blog/post/intro/ I hope you like it ;-) And if it seems like a surprise, you can blame me for not publicising this kind of content earlier given how long we've been working in this area. Thankfully Jon Kuperman and Thomas Chetwin (plus others) found the time and energy to put this platform together.
