I expect a "it's easier to use" evangelism push around the upcoming epoch release. There are a bunch of mostly completed but still feature flagged changes that should remove a lot of the borrow checker toe stubbing. Getting

The about:memory display is pretty easy to read and can force memory collections across the app. Should be fairly easy to track down the cause. I run the developer edition and tend to restart weekly or so to pick up new updates but I don&#x

There's been a number of competing names (e.g. rustler) but rustacean won out because it has the advantage of being ideologically neutral and lacking other connotations.

The tradeoffs between Elm and Reason/Fable are that the former is Pure and the latter have imperative escape hatches. There are benefits to both. Elm has a neat time travelling debugger built in and enforces semantic versioning via the

If we're just talking about compiling a typed language to javascript, gwt did it 12 years ago.

If this is a major concern for you, there are several clojurescript projects--Planck and Lumo--that have very fast startup. JVM Clojure is a bit faster than jsc/node clojurescript (~2x IIRC) but that shouldn't matter much for scri

I've maintained a ~20k LoC re-frame app for a year and a half. The performance of Clojure's persistent datastructures with pervasive sCU gives you generally good performance but it's not panacea. I've debugged a hundreds

If you're bundling it into one payload it does not. If you're code splitting, it's 38k of download time and ~120k of parse time you're not paying on time to first meaningful paint. It's a couple dozen ms on desktops

It handles the more complex (e.g. CJK) input methods. The alternative is a hidden text field and you have to put more effort into emulating the cursor (e.g. up arrow/down arrow). Regularly re-generating the underlying markup removes a

I hope you don't take my comment as too much of an insult to your work. I consider the hallmarks of the current generation of frameworks to be component composition, framework based change synchronization (KVO, diffing, dirty checking)

The only use case for jQuery is if you want virtually all your logic and rendering to be server side and only want to use javascript for toggles, form checking, or other jQuery sprinkles. I wouldn't choose this but if someone did and p
