Hmm ... to each their own I guess. But while developing backends with Kotlin I attempted to ditch all annotation/reflection/code-generation based libraries for a while, opting for functional libraries like ktor, exposed etc. But t

Unlike obsidian, it doesn't appear to have a plugin system (yet?)

Gleam looks very interesting. However I don't see any support for annotations (metadata based code generation) or reflection. I am curious if these are things that just haven't been implemented yet or it is an explicit goal to avo

Ah, I was not aware of extension traits. Thanks for pointing out.

I'd get what I import (explicitly). If I import conflicting extensions then its my fault for doing so and (only) my program fails to compile.

by lf-non 3y ago
Yeah I found it somewhat surprising too. Coming from kotlin I had expected this to be similar to extension methods but apparently not. I never fully understood the motivation behind this restriction.

Why would you bluntly assume my comment lacks any foresight? I was simply recommending you a tool that I used, albeit briefly, that solves the exact the same problem for which you are claiming no solution exists. Nobody is denying that it w

Your solution is awesome. Thanks for sharing. Love the indentation based DSL - this looks very intuitive. I do a lot of quick sketches with excalidraw but I easily see wiretext-code replacing that with a better workflow where I can extract

If I want to do something like initialize codemirror when my component attaches to dom, I need an event/hook for that. I can't do that solely based on state subscription?

Tangential, but the default breeze theme of KDE plasma desktop is really good. I want to thank everyone who worked on that. That was the first OS theme I looked at and thought ok - system ui is a solved problem for me now. I have completely

The library looks nice dx wise but complete lack of any lifecycle hooks is a bummer. I get that minimalism is the core theme but to use any js ui lib that is not explicitly built around the same reactivity model you need to hook into compon

I don't think that would fall within the scope of a utility like cog. I wrote a minimal tool long back which I used to extract parts of code from my test suite as json which I could then use within my documentation generator to embed t

The free online book nimprogrammingbook.com has chapters on templates [1] and macros [2] which explain them with nice examples. From what I gather from the D docs (which I have only casually browsed through), the kind of adhoc ast construct

I don't know why you would consider JS/TS backends to be niche - they are fairly mainstream by this time. You also need to distinguish between larger frameworks and compile-to-js/wasm languages here. As for the rest, I think

Oh I wish more languages adopted this. It is nice to be able to name the externally visible parameters such that the invocation is natural to read (eg. DB.select(~from: userTable)), but it is better to have more explicit names on the implem

Nobody is advocating for synchronously importable modules in browsers. Also, people had already written support utilities like require1k [1] to support cjs in browsers. We don't necessarily need a full bundler - we only need a module a

ESM has dual syntax for static and dynamic imports too. What I am saying is that import Foo from "foo" could be sematically equivalent to const Foo = require("foo") and const Foo = await import("foo") could be

You could get those benefits through special syntax that chose to not deviate from commonjs semantics. We are in this mess because tc39 explicitly chose to not give a damn about nodejs ecosystem. None of the secondary benefits of ESM to com

This looks pretty nice. Would you be interested in reviving this to target type-safe ts ? I have been looking forward to a type-safe coffee-script. Civet.dev comes close but goes into some pretty esoteric directions.

We use this to trigger local tasks (like build, codegen, db migrations etc.) in our monorepo. We moved to it because our npm scripts were getting messier in absense of task dependencies, lack of multiline support, comments in json etc. Bein
