I don't disagree with anything you are saying. However, what is or isn't the goal of a language is subject to change. Libraries like Zod are trying to filling a gap in js, sure. But we are arguing that that gap is better filled

There is a starboard-observable package which uses the same open-source reactive runtime as observablehq https://github.com/gzuidhof/starboard-observable

I wonder if this will be something that functional libraries like Ramda [1] or Sanctuary [2] will be able to benefit from. One of the reasons these libraries don't work so well with TS is that it doesn't have ML-style whole progra

They seem to have a functional lsp server already.

I don't understand what this means. Any sufficiently valuable general purpose library (which zod is) is a candidate for first-class inclusion in the language if it is useful for a sizeable majority of the language's audience. Zod

Well TS does have its complexities, but it is somewhat surprising to see the complaint being that supporting typechecking for something that is not TS at all (and something TS authors know nothing about) is complex. It is amazing that the w

I always felt the decision to write flow in ocaml was ahead of its time. Flow compiler is much faster than TS. Native bundlers like esbuild, swc etc. are mainstream now but they came much later.

So does this tool. There is a code-generation step for ts types. When the types are coming from an external source that may or may not be available at compile time, I can't think of any way to prevent codegen and also retain type-safet

You can use ts-sql-query [1]. It has a complete query builder API, but you can also use sql fragments similar to slonik. SQlite is supported along with most other mainstream databases. [1] ts-sql-query.readthedocs.io/

There is webview, a low level C library with various bindings that can be used to create a webview using os provided browser and interact with it. Wrt. featureset its is a lot more simpler and lower level than both electron and wails. http

Yeah, this is a recurring pain. I know the universe at large has moved away from eclipse, but I loved their rich tooltips where you had nice structured representation (not just a blob of text from lsp) and could click through and navigate t

Yes, also kotlin is pretty nice if you want to write oop/procedural code with some functional flavor. - Lot of inline methods in stdlib alleviate the performance penalty of using higher order functions for tight loops. - It is nice to

And if you want an svg, you can trace the bitmap with inkscape.

I have often wondered if the concept of encoding politeness/formalism at language level was common in other cultures outside Indian subcontinent. Interesting to see this confirmed. In southern Indian languages, a similar differentiatio

Good to see this is still maintained and a new version is planned which moves away from jquery. We used to use this in a project few years back and it enabled us to quickly prototype low-effort admin interfaces. It is a nice package that pr

'Flirting with nature' is a common expression that I have seen in many travel brochures, blogs etc. I guess use of coy follows from that. Not sure if it is something specific to Indian dialect.

I think that's understandable. Those dozens of the languages are the ones that the author has personally dabbled with in the past. The focus of article is their personal experience & first impressions. It was not intended to be an

I use jq and jless and find that to be more practical than tools like these (not just because of being available in terminal). When I have large blob of json, I am usually interested in first getting a high level idea of how it is structure

We used to do this for an app, but moved away from that eventually, because: 1. You need to support old command (and payload schema) indefinitely. Or need migrations for those instead. 2. In highly interactive apps, this needs a lot of chat

Yes, I moved the other way and have been using vim for last two years or so. Eshell is the only main thing I still miss from emacs despite not being a lisper. I have found it quite hard to explain others what exactly is great about eshell,

Intriguing concept, but the HTML output of the pixel-world-editor tool doesn't seem great (tons of absolutely positioned divs). In present day world it would be better to use svg.

I wasn't claiming that OSS necessarily enables a specific individual to be able to hack on it. Just in case of your example if as a TS programmer I learn about a new code IDE that is open source and is written in TS, I might be more mo

Agree with everything here, but something that often gets missed is that you don't have to use all that GraphQL enables from day one. It is perfectly fine to start with an early implementation that treats GraphQL as mostly an RPC, with
