Ah, fair enough. So it is still stringly typed, it's just verified at compile time. Which I guess is true about all compiled functions ever .

If it's just a variable in scope, you could do: if (condition) { // new scope const jsx = // ... return <foo/> } In practice, "variable in scope" is essentially the same as

How is that not also stringly typed?

Yeah it seems fine. I wouldn't be strongly opposed to it. Standardization of either is better than nothing.

True, but those were designed in the 80s or 90s. I guess I'm thinking of embedded scripting languages designed since ~2015.

I don't think that's the reason behind Lua's syntax. I think it was designed specifically to be extraordinarily unambiguous, clean, and simple, which it is.

A few times over the past 15 years, the HN mods have made it clear to me that you only get the HN spotlight once every few months. So this was my one chance for mid 2025 to release it right. That's okay, lesson learned is the important

Fun story, I once walked about 11 hours because of my stupidity, and at the end my heart wouldn't stop racing even after I passed out in a bed. I woke up a few times with my heart still racing, and that whole day and night I wasn'

> Note that nothing in the script is run automatically when the script is loaded, as happens in many other scripting language. The host application decides which functions and filtermaps it extracts from the script and when to run them.

> Finally, we want a language that is easy to pick up; it should feel like a statically typed version of scripting languages you're used to. It looks like Rust. All Rust scripting languages do. Is this true for all other languages?

Interestingly, Ghostbusters (1984) was rewritten to have the team being a startup, because everyone was beginning to start up their own businesses at the time.

> *It's NOT a proposal to incorporate JSX into the ECMAScript spec itself.* It's intended to be used by various preprocessors (transpilers) to transform these tokens into standard ECMAScript. (Emphasis theirs.)
464.
by 90s_dev 1y ago
True. Then can you suggest a standardized ECMAScript JSX proposal that doesn't turn this into a "children" key on an object? Would you just transform it into an array? ["foo", { bar: qux }, "baz"] ?

Hi, I'm the guy who wrote this proposal. tl;dr: My proposal transforms <foo bar={qux}>bla</foo> into { [Symbol.for('jsx')]: 'foo', bar: qux, children: "bla" } It's self-contained, gen

This is a known ambiguity in JSX, to the point where TypeScript gives this error: > 'children' are specified twice. The attribute named 'children' will be overwritten. ts(2710)

Then is the solution to have write-only be the default for muts, so that they start out write-only at least , but can also be made to be read-write either (a) in given circumstances of creation, or (b) after certain operations on them, o

Given <foo bar={qux}>bla</foo> React used to transform it into React.createElement("foo", { bar: qux }, "bla") Now it transforms it into import _jsx from "react/jsx-runtime"; _jsx("fo

I made this proposal because JSX is more generally useful than generating HTML. You can use it for configuration, or views for other GUIs like I do in https://90s.dev/os/ or to describe basically any kind of tree.

There is a difference though between showing off cool stuff and having the potential to show off cool stuff. I released my app in the latter phase, not the former, which is what I wanted to do. To be honest, I was just having a really bad d

Interestingly, I didn't know Vue had a thing called a Ref until about a week ago. Yet my Refs have a very similar design. Though I do think my Refs are much better and more generally useful. In fact, I think my Refs might be a genuin

Thanks. I failed to capture the essenence of what my project is. The APIs are really what's exciting. But you can't see APIs, they're like the wind, you have to see them in action, through their side effects. I should have wa

Most people think of DSLs as a language you can create within a language . All the things you named are either entire languages themselves like HTML, SQL, and the shell family, or formal extensions of existing languages like JSX. A DSL
