I've also been trying to derive a good TS pattern for redux Actions/Reducers. Do you have any code examples online that you could point me to?
632.
by bcherny 10y ago
I'd argue that's a strength. Note how scala is modularizing its standard lib in Dotty, and TypeScript is doing that same for stdlib typings. Standard libs are great, but they need to be modular. If they're modular then they a

An idea of open source is that it's very likely that your own implementation is buggier, slower, and more poorly specified than the existing state of the art open source implementation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

React is the really the ideal rendering engine (though much less optimized than something like Unity). An immediate mode API abstracting over a retained mode renderer lets you think about a program as a state machine, while not sacrificing

If you're using TypeScript + templateUrl, you won't get static checking of templates. With React + TypeScript, you will.

I like the argument made in So Good They Can't Ignore You, which is in line with this article. Specifically, the author argues that based on studies, people most satisfied with their jobs are not those with a natural aptitudes for thei

That's fair. Personally, I'm excited to have another way to manage side effects on a platform that has so many of them.

What do you think of using Dotty's effect system for frontend code?

Given everything we hear about the NSA/FBI, this seems like a fair concern.

Wow! Very cool to have the infamous Reggie drop in. Perhaps this is a good chance to say thank you for JS Allonge, which was my introduction to writing proper JavaScript. Before it I wrote code to make a feature work; now, it is equal parts

I'm sure you and @danabromov have more thoughts on this, but I would generally constrain the mixin system more: - Don't let mixins call setState() directly; otherwise, it can be hard to track down what mutated the state. Have a we

by bcherny 10y ago
The thing is, mixins are a pattern, and patterns are interchangeable. So you can use composition, single inheritance, multiple inheritance, and mixins interchangeably in most cases. It's not that you need a particular pattern, it jus
648.
by bcherny 10y ago
Implementing mixins correctly in JS (which React does not) is already a well explored problem space. I like https://leanpub.com/javascript-spessore for great explorations and derivations of various mixin patterns. It's

This is a poor reason to not use TS. If in the unlikely worst case scenario the TS team drops/renames the ! syntax at some point, given that these are compile time checks, you will just manually go through a list of compile time errors

Nothing ground breaking here - I imagine most readers here already use most of the author's models - but this is a nice comprehensive list, which I have not seen before.

This would be pretty powerful if you combine it with speech recognition. If you put this array in the middle of a crowded room, can you better tease apart different audio sources?

The two aren't exclusive. What's to stop the experts from doing this as a side project?

Actually? This would explain a lot.

In my year or so of using TS, I've noticed that this is the only sort of typing that doesn't get out of date, and is high quality. Even something as popular as lodash typings lag behind the newest lodash releases, are missing typi

Wow, this is a huge release! Does this mean Safari supports ES6 modules now? Also, how did the Nitro team resolve the issues that the V8 team faced when implementing tail call optimization (tooling broke when they implemented it, so I belie

Is there a similar trend in any other language? Seems like the answer is "no" for Ruby, Go, Scala, and TypeScript. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/graphs/contributors https://github.com&#x2F

Same here. Personally I prefer ES6 for a few reasons: - Future compatible, more interoperable - ES6 classes can extend each other in a standards compliant way - CS arrow functions feel verbose compared to ES6 - Constants - More tooling supp

Unfortunately the CoffeeScript project seems to be in maintenance mode, and hasn't had a release for ~9 months. Probably something to do with the ad hoc compiler and lack of ES6 support. See https://github.com/jashkenas

This is very cool, and is a very hard problem! It reminds me of Hofstadter's Jumbo experiment from the '80s: https://books.google.com/books?id=somvbmHCaOEC&pg=PA97&lpg=P... (Clojure implementation here: h
