I think one of the possibly-good moves Zig makes, similarly, is using `comptime` for generic types. I don’t have a good sense of how that interacts with parametricity and ability to constrain those (and I suspect that’s an important quest

That’s a good goal! A 100% correct program which cannot guarantee a lack of memory safety bugs is not a 100% correct program, though, right?

Besides the (correct!) sibling comment: the idea here is to provide underlying primitives which can then be used to express UI in a variety of contexts, first of all native UIs but (as the post notes at the end) also including the DOM. Fo

Poor animation design has exactly the problem you describe. Animation in general is a very useful affordance, though: it allows you to convey the relationships between the various nodes and modes in your UI. That ranges from being able to d

CSS transitions are fairly restricted, but animation in CSS is substantially more capable than transitions if you’re using the animations API instead: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CS

I’ve used TypeScript’s handling extensively as well as Rust’s, and I would say that there are actually significant tradeoffs, rather than it being an easy win for either. In particular, the fact that `| null | undefined` is just another uni

I do this for a bunch of pages for the same reason—series pages, for example, but also tag pages. I like how it subtly undercuts the recency bias of the reverse chronological “stream” that is the default.

In principle, yes, absolutely! You can cover the 90% case with simple rules of thumb, and so just following the top-level recommendations from the spec do indeed cover a lot of it: have tests which cover your type API fully (not just your

Those are some very large qualifications, though, right? I think a better way of saying this is something like “you actually have to work quite hard to write native code that outperforms an equivalent Java/Kotlin/Scala implement

This is a key insight. One of the things which has most endeared Dorico to me is that it’s the only program in the space which even seems to have had the right approach for this to be possible. They’ve taken the view, from the very outset,

You might try Obsidian. I think it checks all of those boxes except “web view”: it’s an Electron app, but like VS Code it shows that web tech doesn’t have to be slow (it just nearly always is). They just shipped the native client and it

Ah, no, sorry: I took your meaning; I was just talking on a related bunch of things your comment brought to mind! That’s a very interesting approach, though: doing it via script rather than hand-editing in a DAW.

Yep, and it totally gets the job done. (Hey, Steve!) I’m just perpetually surprised that 6 years past 1.0 we don’t have a Rust native implementation of the equivalent. What I’ve slowly concluded is: we as an industry more broadly just don’

The worst part about it is: same schema/ontology, but different (legitimate!) choices within it ! Cue sobbing emoji.

MusicXML is indeed widely used, and it is basically the standard interchange format for music notation apps. Every major app I can think of supports it—certainly the “big four” of Dorico, Sibelius, Finale, and MuseScore, as well as other
