It could get faster and more memory efficient. Here is a nice description of some plans. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/10/webassemblys-post-mvp-futu...

This means that the unit tests will miss a lot of possible errors. Nothing wrong with that, just use integration testing or functional tests to cover the other part.

Do they have ACID transactions around writing to all 3 servers? Doesn't that cause bad performance? You might also end up with a LOT of servers unless you starting sharing servers for different shards (but still with different sets of

I think it is easiest to show a graphical UI like SourceTree or GitKraken when you explain git. GitKraken is my favourite but it costs a little money to use at work.

It sounds like optionally typed languages like Typescript should be really good if you want to start in "wizarding" mode and then change the code more into an "engineering" solution.

It depends on how much better you think C# is but I think of this the other way around. You don't have to use Java anymore to get cross platform support, good performance and a stable and statically typed language. Regarding things tha

In a way you are just moving the complexity back to the server code. I am not sure that helps in any way. The server will now have to have state or reload state on every request and that state could include many things that are not obvious

He mentions this in the article. I agree that building a SPA can be a bit hard and it is not very wise to use in-experienced develpers (without mentoring/lead) to do it all. I have started to think about frontend development as at leas

It's not only owning the outcome that is the problem, if you develop a software system that in any ways competes with your employer they may have a reason to fire and/or sue you. The problem as someone else stated above in this di

As far as I can remember the Elasticsearch test that Jespen made years ago showed at by that time it was a very, very bad db. It was good for indexing content but not for storage.

Not that I disagree with you but we might need to have more discussions about what is a common/normal app. How large is it in kb, in lines of code, in nbr of functions or classes? How large and how many data structures is it normally

Maybe he could contact the Norwegian Oil Fund also. They should also be interested in something else than oil and Tesla sells a lot of cars there. https://www.nbim.no/en/the-fund/

Also, MobX is for most devs easier to understand and use than Redux and more similar to Vue and Angular. I think most small react projects should start with no external state management or mobx and only switch if they need it. Unless they a

According to this article, yes, it is. On the other hand it is a really, really easy to convert a react native app to a web app with react so it might have been a very good choice of technology anyway.

As long as people wants new apps quickly (now) and cheaply (free) the developers problems are _very_ important. Making those problems smaller or disappear makes it quicker and/or cheaper to develop apps and the companies paying for the

JS is pretty fast nowdays. I _guess_ you could make it 2x as fast by using C++ instead but on the other hand the code might be harder to write and contain more bugs. These tools are used by houndreds of thousands developers and if the bug c

The rendering engine in Windows is accessible. It has not been as advanced as V8 but it is getting better and that means you can, or will soon be able to, create an app with html+css+js and run it on Windows without downloading a full engi

I think react is very flexible. I wonder if people sometimes mixes react with react "best practices" and get confused? React is close to functional and works very well with those ideas. It also allows you to create components fro

React doesn't force you to use any style method, you can output html and use css as usual. The problem is that css scales poorly for large projects, especially when you build many components and mix them together. It is almost impossib

You would still need a commercial license for Smalltalk. And he might still get a lot of questions or demands for features.

I guess it's not going to help a lot except in special cases. See for example what Linus had to say about many cores and the long discussion after. https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=146066&curpost..
