Not so much confusing as my own ignorance. My last pass through Polymer was two years (I think) ago and there's been a number of changes to the components specs that I've been ignoring. At the time I saw a lot of excellent example

I can! The idea of unidirectional dataflow is pretty good but the rest of the ideas in Flux aren't as good. For Facebook's implementation, I find making a change requires a bunch of related changes in a bunch of files and I don&#x

I interpret it as shared state concurrency. That is, multiple threads sharing the same address space performing reads and writes on shared data: atomics, mutexes, etc. From the update I understand that he's considering things like Acto

The basic idea is to have your components take optional params that are themselves components. ESPseudoish code: // In your components... let DefaultListItem = (content) => <li className="foo">{content

I've thought about why widget libraries don't work on the web since 2008. In 2007 I was making iOS webapps, in 2008 Apple put out the SDK and the native apps were better. I decided that the native apps were better because the devs

This is an extension of Ambly [0], which is basically the same thing but for iOS. I believe Ambly was developed because Clojurescript's startup time makes it more practical than clojure on a mobile device. David Nolen has posted benchm

Processor power use scales with frequency as well. See [0], specifically the 'Low Memory and Power Devices' section, which shows power savings running 4 cores at lower frequency versus 1 core at max frequency. I think they eventua

I doubt he's specifically looking for Angular jobs or likely any job at all. It's likely he's getting contacted by recruiters or just seeing job ads. The current trend is react but I run across node+angular postings regularly
253.
by grayrest 11y ago
You're more or less correct. One of the not-immediately-obvious problems with the React pattern of passing data in via attrs and actions via callbacks is that the parent component needs to accept all the data/callbacks that all it

Is there an RFC or thread covering the IDE integration plans?

Does it open the door to being able to incrementally update the representation and have the compiler used as a library for IDE support?

I've done a basic RTE in React for a client. I've done three now and RTEs are always annoying but the difficulty in this case is largely in how you model it. I chose to create a JS object per block element (usually a paragraph) co

Not at all. I've written/cleaned-up a few dozen Backbone apps. They work great when they're small and are generally a mess once they scale. An example: how do you use a datepicker component in your pure state->DOM system a

by grayrest 11y ago
It's Backbone. A pure state -> DOM function is also called a template. It works when the app is simple. The problem is that you do NOT want a pure state -> DOM function. It blows away state of things like mounted subcomponents an

by grayrest 11y ago
Have you done Backbone? The idea is that you define everything in terms of models and that when one of those models change you call render() to run it through your templates and you're done. This is a simple conceptual model, the frame

If you have a setup that works for you, probably not. Atom's main advantage is that it's in a DOM environment and people could do neat things with it but at the moment the efforts have gone into putting it roughly at feature par

It's not something I've explored or really care to pursue, but I've sat though at least a half dozen talks on audio synthesis in Clojure including one by Rich himself. They do signal generation in Clojure that feeds data into

There aren't that many things you can't do in Clojure, the main place Rust has an edge is in efficiency. I plan on doing an Avro implementation but other projects (mostly work-related) have a higher priority. In terms of larger pr

Editing text in Atom isn't instantaneous for me like MacVim or Sublime but the typing latency is low enough to not bother me (roughly 1-2 frames), roughly the same as the jetBrains family of IDEs. When I load up atom-typescript, typing
