But it was again rewritten in Dart and the Dart version is now the reference implementation. And they did that because for a lot of Sass users, working with Ruby sucked, simply because they didn't have the tooling and knowledge built u

And that's why I tried to avoid saying it's a bad idea in general. I'd love to see more diversity in languages on NPM. Things written in Go but compiled and distributed as binaries over NPM (maybe with a small JS wrapper), or

You just reminded me of a really good point. We already have "previous examples" of people trying to make CSS tooling in another language! sass was written in ruby originally, and it sucked so much to manage and work with for many

But when 99% of your target audience (in this case JS and web developers) already have the runtime installed, then "just copy a binary" isn't easier, it's harder. `npm install stylelint` is about as easy as it gets. copy

I'm not so sure that'd be a good idea. A few questions: 1. what benefits would a statically compiled binary provide? Would it be significantly faster? Would it be easier to manage? Would it be easier to modify? I'd guess the

This might be off topic, but how are you liking reasonML? I've been meaning to pick it up for a while now and keep reading over the docs but still haven't done much. Would you be willing to talk about some of the pitfalls and roug

Oh wow that's awesome I had no idea, thanks!

I didn't think it worked like that, but I could be super wrong. Last I saw things launched from the home screen or in a webview from another app use the "Android System Webview" as it's rendering engine. IIRC there was s

I see a lot of people asking for this in TS, but i'd much rather it be in plain JS and let TS add anything on top of it that is needed. Pattern matching would work SO WELL in javascript, especially considering how frequently switch is

Ah okay makes sense! It's amazing the gaps in knowledge I still have with a lot of things. I've used Linux daily for like 15 years now, and I know about control characters, but since I never really used emacs (or readline beyond t

Https still shows up for me, as does the padlock, www is still showing as well (that change was fairly quickly reverted after the feedback they got).

I feel like i'm spamming this link every time the private fields stuff comes up, but take a look at the FAQ, it explains the reasoning behind it and why they didn't go with alternate options (like underscore, private, or others).

It's not just about keywords, it's about shadowing mostly [1]. For example, what does `this.foo` access in an object? the private property `foo`? the public property `foo`? What about if I'm using your object and put a new pr

They are in that one case, but the vast majority of components aren't PureComponent, and therefore it's not a universal "perf antipattern". It's also one of those things that people tend to extrapolate out. They hea

That's a great point, assuming APT follows redirects by default! I don't know enough about it to know either way. I do know that you need to install a package to get HTTPS support for most connections, but I'm not sure if tha

The generational garbage collectors in all (or the vast majority of) javascript implementations is specifically tuned to make this a pretty big non-issue for the extreme vast majority of code. It's the same argument people make against

The argument is that the package you are downloading is already signed with public key crypto and verified during the update process. It's integrity is "secured". However there could be bugs in that implementation, and bugs c

For me it's that VSCode has targeted a slightly different market. In Atom, plugins/extensions are king, and they can do EVERYTHING. Most of what you see in the UI is a plugin. Tabs, the file-listing sidebar, syntax highlighting, e
