Crazy like a fox! Seriously, I do think there's a targeted use case for this kind of convenience extension (protozoa itself is only 100 lines, it can be embedded pretty much anywhere), but I understand that it is totally counterintuiti

Also, the choice to tightly couple the "real" DOM with the program state is really interesting.

You can even do React with JSX this way (but please still build for production systems): https://gist.github.com/guscost/27736c5f0913184695492ac40fd3...

A totally valid use case for this would be to embed a few dynamic widgets in an otherwise-static HTML page. I've been trying that pattern a bit today. It works well, and seems to be a natural fit for this kind of framework. If anything

Actually, there's a better method for embedding in an element: Just put the <script> wherever you want, but include an `id` in the configuration object that matches a <div> in your page.

Here's how I understood it... The DOM elements aren't stateless, but they will behave like they are if you update every attribute that can change in the `$update` function. Really all you're doing is mutating the DOM object
943.
by guscost 9y ago
If you prefer, you could set up more compatible event handlers with jQuery or whatever in the `$init` function instead of using attributes.

I think a message bus plus a bunch of autonomous mini-DOM element trees could be pretty cool. It might lead you to flatten the DOM too much for big apps though, not sure. EDIT: Whoops, it's pretty trivial to nest components and describ

Ah yeah I think, I read a bit more and the idea of using pure functions to generate the mostly-JSON spec is actually really neat. But how can you handle many events and complex custom side-effects without adding bigger and bigger functions

OK, first of all this is awesome . Great idea and I'll definitely try it out for a prototype soon. Second, this is a pretty normal ES5 framework though. It's just declarative, or based on convention, or whatever you want to call

In my experience XAML can be a massive footgun if you don't know what you're doing. Sure, world-class geniuses are using it to build (still) the best IDE on the planet, but on your everyday development team it can backfire. One

At first I was just upset seeing another piece of speculative PR, I guess, so I had to make a salty comment. Of course your example is true too.

Go's difficulty comes from predicting a future game state, which is discrete and highly multiplicative . Novice players play on smaller boards. So humans are definitely going to lose to (relatively) simple discrete computation machi

That's an interesting and scary idea, but keep in mind that a lot has happened since WWII. Back then industrial-mechanical cryptography was seen as this magic wand that made all communications completely inscrutable. Then the Polish an

Thanks for writing this. It sounds like what I've experienced in this kind of work isn't just accidental. I am working on leveling up math skills to be able to understand the process for TensorFlow etc, but I get the feeling that
