You're probably using a high-end machine, many people use sub-$500 Windows laptops

I appreciate how they seem to be trying out new features and UX changes more often with Windows 11. Not always good, but it feels like some life is being injected back into Windows

I mean, I would argue "synchronizing with an external system" is almost synonymous with "causing side-effects [on render/state change]". Maybe "synchronizing" is a narrower subset of "effects", b

Can we agree it's not a "framework du jour" anymore? 10 years is a pretty long day

Unfortunately it was several weeks ago and I don't remember or have the code on hand. I think it involved a switch statement in some way
368.
by brundolf 3y ago
I think the "new way" was always the intent. If the past norm is different, it was probably a communication issue (which the beta docs are trying to address)

Anecdote posted as-is: I recently started a macOS app project to learn Swift and SwiftUI. A week or two into the project, I managed to hit an honest-to-god compiler bug. A particular combination of syntaxes would reliably cause the compiler

My question is, why not? I think we can all agree it's better , whether or not a noticeable amount for a given person doing a given activity, and it's pretty well baked into the stack at this point

It isn't production-ready and I don't think it claims to be

What I'd like is for it to have been a standard language feature, that can be used with or without a framework and without any build involvement

What makes me upset about JSX is how it's build-time-dependent on whichever specific library you've configured it to translate to (and can't be used otherwise) Imagine if JSX produced a standard data structure that could then

by brundolf 3y ago
Here's an example where NPM compatibility allowed me to use Deno where I otherwise couldn't: I've got a personal blog that had been on Node. I wanted to port it to Deno. I ported all the server code to be Deno-idiomatic, I dr

You're making some bad-faith assumptions. Ecosystems die without adoption. A runtime that plugs its ears to the practical needs of users is a runtime that nobody but enthusiasts ever use. And you can't build any kind of sustaina

by brundolf 3y ago
It's become clear that it's a hard requirement for wide adoption, especially with the new competition from bun. Personal anecdote: I tried to pitch Deno last year at my job, and as soon as I mentioned that it can't use the NP

A lot of successful SaaSes are this way. Niches are things that other people might not have solved already, and big players may not even want to bother solving. If you're happy with not eating the world, you can make a good business in

They're different APIs, but they have similar goals and benefits: expose native-adjacent performance for GPU tasks in a highly cross-platform API supported by browsers and other host software. The original poster was asking "why [

Fascinating that it took this long. I wonder what org dynamics kept it from happening sooner

by brundolf 3y ago
You're saying two things as if they're a contradiction, but they aren't It's valuable to Apple to have a language perfectly tuned to their stack, as the official entrypoint to all their APIs. If you need to use those API

Another short utility I often add (that I wish were a language feature): function given<T, R>( val: T|null|undefined, fn: (val: T) => R ): R|null|undefined { if (val != null) { return fn(val) } else {

Pretty neat website :) Very unique and polished

Sure, but GP was saying "out of scope" in a way that sounded like "forever, for this use-case", not just "for 1.0". I may have misinterpreted

Ah true, my bad. Though it's still relevant to mention, because usually when people hear "using Webpack" they also assume "using Babel". Bun is doing both the bundling and the transpiling, so it should be compared t

Anecdotally, I've never gotten a single offer through a cold application. I've only gotten a couple of interviews that way. Every job I've ever gotten has either been through my network, or through a recruiter or a university
