This is terrific! I have always wondered why people don’t use async generators more as they are the perfect fit for react like use cases: what is a react component if not “something” that generates new values asynchronously over time? I rea

Nice! This will be seen in the future either as a Nobel prize winning, first revolutionary paper on the theory of everything, or as just another marketing white paper for Mathematica. I can’t tell, but it is interesting for sure!

Why on earth did Prisma take the choice to move away from a brilliant automatic GraphQL backend as a service to some kind of weird ORM? Prisma became relevant during their Prisma 1 time, it was one of the first solutions to automatically ge

This is such. A. Stupid. Decision. Indeed. For example, we use yarn pnp in our codebase so I have absolutely no hope that it will ever work with Prisma 2. “Don’t try to be smart” is a very useful mantra for programmers, but Prisma seems to

Yes, Prisma allows you to run hand crafted SQL queries. That’s is the bare minimum I would expect from it. Graphile on the other hand allows you to do this AND to systematically generate whole classes of such requests, through plugins.

Prisma is definitely limited when it comes to advanced use cases. I have been using it for two years and we are now moving to postgraphile because of this. And Prisma 2 doesn’t help, it makes it worse.

I dislike the templating pseudo language of Svelte (and many view frameworks). Maybe I am spoiled by react but I never ever want to write my view logic in anything else than JS. This is my main blocker for Svelte.

Gitlab is a good example, we had to leave the free tier in order to get features that Gitlab specifically chose to be in the paid tier because their absence is a big blocker when you grow... So we pay $100/mo/seat on Gitlab. We al

True but you don’t pay subscription for your chairs. You do pay rent, but in many case the sum of SaaS subscription is in the same order of magnitude as the rent.

There are so many good reasons to use it that I think I don’t make it justice. But here a few pros of graphile: - it is made in typescript and can be integrated as a library directly in a JS project - it is very easy to extend with plugins

PostGraphile is free, try it!

by crubier 7y ago
After trying Hasura, Prisma, and PostGraphile, my conclusion is that PostGraphile is way ahead of all this. Please all have a look at PostGraphile, it is amazing, even more than Hasura!

The churn between angular versions, stemming from the limitations and inconsistencies of two way data bindings and others, are what I mean by «shaky grounds». Yes there is value in being opinionated, but it is less risky to decorrelate the

Maybe the disdain comes from the fact that people don’t like getting a whole house (like angular) built on shaky grounds, but prefer a clean basic foundation (like react) where they can lay whatever bricks they like on top (routing, data ma

Anecdotal evidence. This is just the result of bad practices. React is less opinionated than Angular I'll give you that, so I guess that subpar angular might be preferable to subpar react. Well-managed react is incomparable in power. T

For routing react-router is just perfect. And for data source/state management there is plenty of choice, I use Apollo for global state/data source and useState for small state full interactions, I can’t see how it could get simpl

You are right indeed, but from a developer point of view at that point you could be using a react based framework and your experience would be the similar to vue with JSX. Render functions returning JSX is the key brilliant idea invented by

Only sane way, you missed a word. Of course there are other ways, but they clearly flawed in my opinion. I used to hate web development before 2014 and now I love it. Php is an awful language, jquery was a nightmare. Angular makes no sens

I have the exact opposite opinion. React is the only sane way to do web development. All other approaches are deeply flawed by either relying on imperative mutations of the DOM instead of clean declarative code, or by relying on ugly templa

We already do! You seem to ignore the widespread use of projective geometry in all 3D engines. For me it shows that you don’t know enough about the topic to have a useful opinion on this. We do 4D stuff in 3D engines because it leads to mas
