If I'm writing say a code editor on example.com, is it "crazy" that I'd want to fetch a list of projects from GitHub.com? What are you saying?

This is excellent advice. There's something I really dislike about import "./style.css" into JS files - it just seems meaningless especially if you've worked with other languages/ecosystems. A great many tutori

For the kind of discussions we have on HN (the insightful, informative ones), text is by far the best format. Both in terms of expressiveness and ease-of-consumption. The asynchronous nature of text comments give people time to think before

There shouldn't be an "Annual plan, paid monthly" option. Software vendors shouldn't be in the credit and loans business. Pay monthly for monthly plans, and pay annually once for annual plans.

Giving up the myriad benefits of type-safe code over this relatively minor and entirely subjective coding style preference will be a poor engineering decision.

There are plenty of frameworks which don't use vDOM. In fact, if someone is coding up something new today they're less likely to use vDOM.

There's a huge difference. Microsoft was already a monopoly on desktops (and was relying on that dominance to EEE) when that happened, while in Google's case the smartphone industry was nascent.

The biggest problem that non-native speakers face with English is the pronunciation. There are no consistent rules which can be applied to letter combinations; and that alone makes it hard to master. English is not my native language, but I

Why would privately-held Taxi App companies unanimously take these brands off the maps? It's not like people are going to feel bad if they see H&M on the map, and lash out against a Taxi app.

You're right about it being complex (my experience [1]), but such work is within scope for what's perhaps a central design decision for a library. Yes there'll be bugs, but it'll stabilize over time. Just to be clear, I

I was saying elsewhere on the thread - I am not suggesting that each should be turned into a runtime call. Instead, 'svelte.each()' callsites are easy to identify in the AST and transform in the compiler. So the errors remain comp

I understand why they did it, but there are alternatives. Such as: import * from "svelte"; // ...omitted for brevity. { svelte.each(cats, ({ id, name }) => <p>Hello {name}</p>) }

But I wish new frameworks stayed away from inventing new language syntax. Not only is it a cognitive burden on programmers, it throws all the tooling off. From Svelte: {#each cats as { id, name }, i} JavaScript already has facility for loop

Actually React can stake a better claim to being "just JavaScript" than Svelte. Once you know what JSX compiles to (the rules are fairly basic), React does become "just JavaScript". That's not the case with Vue, Ang
