I don't think Word or Excel need any "apologia". They are incredibly successful software products which in general are well liked by their users.

Where were you in the 90's if web pages loaded fast? Surely not behind a modem.

The reality is that users overwhelmingly prefer "bloat", i.e. feature rich integrated tools. Joel Spolsky explained it many years ago: Sure everyone only use 5% of the features of Word - but they use different 5%, which is why n

>> Is there a non-core ASP.NET that also lives inside that framework? > Yep! No, the "non-Core" ASP.Net framework is not ported to the .Net Core platform (i.e. .net 5+). Only ASP.Net Core runs on .Net Core. This is unfort

I believe joining an array of strings is still faster in JavaScript, since the combined size can be known up front.

The cost is not the allocation per se, the cost is copying the bytes. When concatenating two strings, the bytes from both strings are copied into the new string. If you repeatedly concatenate, the bytes end up getting copied many times. E.g

The naming really is confusing. "Core" was the keyword for several semi-independent projects. There is .Net Core, which was a rewrite of the .Net runtime to make it platform independent. Then there is ASP.Net Core is which is a re

I was wondering about it in the context of "yet, other languages would do the right thing by default". Repeatedly concatenating to the same string (as opposed to concatenating an array of strings in one go) would be slow in any la

Totally off topic I know, but what is the concern with String.Concat ?

Fortunately this is also the simplest to implement, since this is the default. So just don't go out of your way to write code to restrict these to some arbitrary subset of characters and tell me I have an "illegal name". You

The key takeway is that the simplest handling or names (as an opaque unicode string which is not assumed to be stable or unique or conform to any particular structure) is also the one which have the fewest problems. The problems arise whe

Yeah you can say that - the browser environment with DOM and other Wep API's is a framework for client-side apps. Single-page application frameworks like Angular, React etc. are frameworks on top of this, which provide higer-level abst

Angular is a framework for single-page applications, based on components with templates. If a property of a component changes, the rendering is automatically updated by the framework. This is supposed to free you from direct DOM manipulatio

Tagged unions still require rather cumbersome JavaScript syntax to use. While the type inference support is great, much of the benefit is IMHO lost because of the syntax.

As far as I know it is JIT compiled to native code. But it is a rather complex process, where the execution is profiled which informs the JIT'er to re-optimize. This obviously have some overhead compared to executing AOT compiled code,

JavaScript is a compiled language, at least when executed by V8. Angular-CLI is probably slow because of the data structures used.

I actually think Angular is fine, and competition between frameworks benefits everyone. React was just a better fit for this particular project. I feel Angular is too much overhead when you don't use the more advanced features.

I have written a piece of code which transform an Angular project into a React project. Wonder if there would be interest if I open-sourced it?

Ah, I assumed it was just a realistic looking exercise. If they actually used code written by the applicant, I can definitely see all kinds of problems!

Beginners tend to obsess about the precise definitions of terms. Possibly because a lot of teaching is about learning definitions (because it is easy to test) or perhaps because in subject like math the definition really is the meaning.
