if only the Linux support was good. Or any other UNIX-like that made it usable without having to deal with macOS. It's a shame, because the hardware is top tier.

That was a pretty interesting read. My take is that you can get pretty far these days with a simple bytecode interpreter. Food for thought if your side project could benefit from a DSL!

Although not intuitive, it's common to call that the 'runtime' in the JS world, while V8 and JSC would be called 'JS engines'. Deno used similar wording in a tutorial for creating your own JS runtime using Rust and

I still think Class components provided an easier mental model for most developers compared to functional components. Hooks specially feel very error-prone by comparison.

Good article. Regarding AoS vs SoA, I'm curious about the impact in JS engines. I believe it would be a significant compute performance difference in favor of SoA if you use typed arrays.

I think Meteor is finally starting to fully overcome the tech debt from the second half of the last decade. They're in a recent Node.js release, and the next version will integrate a modern bundler (Rspack) in its tooling. Lots of apps

I wonder if we'll see Podman running on Illumos at some point. SmartOS does currently support running Dockerized programs if I remember correctly.

It's refreshing to see a honest, no-nonsense, not full of marketing-speak reply for once. Your replies on this thread have been great. :)

While I tend to agree with your position, it sounds like they built a system in less than 2 weeks that was immediately useful to the organization. That sounds like a win to me, and makes me wonder if there were other ways in hindsight that

Surely it would be better if console makers gave users freedom to control the device, rather than smartphones not being in the users' control either. Unfortunately, the copyright lobby of the video game industry was too strong in the 7

Thanks, I appreciate that you added them. :) They show a lot of potential and promising results. Any guess why Valley is slower for parsing objects with primitive values?

It would be nice to provide some benchmarks comparing it to Zod, arktype, etc. Comparing it across different runtimes (Node.js, Bun, web browsers, etc.) would be great, too.

Thanks for the description, I kept reading the webpage and didn't understand what the project was or how it worked. Yours is really succinct and clear.

No problem. I appreciate the technical details of your article. Best of luck to your startup.

At least from the demos, that seems to be a drastic improvement in iteration speed compared to other native/not-web-based toolkits. I'm gonna give it a try. Still wish there were other scripting options besides QML, and we could t

Oh my bad, I meant "workstation" as in, a full desktop with a working desktop environment like XFCE, audio support, GPU acceleration for AMD iGPUs, etc. Thanks again for the informative reply.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the link! Do you know if people are using it for workstations?

Thanks, I appreciate the answer. Did you consider releasing your AS3 code under a Free Software license? Some people could find it worth to port it to Haxe.

Can't an hypothetical cross platform driver be MIT licensed and be part of both? Although I'd be more than happy with other OSes/distributions defaulting to GPL.

I agree with you in principle, and I understand the existing constraint. But I don't see developer time scaling up without those operating systems reaching (again) critical mass, and then having upstream wanting to write drivers for ev

The Illumos' family is an interesting one. I wish it was easier to get it installed on modern hardware. Any of my attempts with distros like OpenIndiana, Tribblix and OmniOS didn't go further than the boot menu. I wonder how far a
