I agree. Mithril hits the sweet spot.

One of these (react) does not belong. React brought a new, better, API and kept the old one in. Migrating between react versions is actually a very simple affair, nobody was forcing React hooks.

This may or may not hold true (this DS is nowhere near as convinced as you are) but your parallel with Model T is odd, seeing as how that was immediately useful and absolutely revolutionary.

I've recently been playing with Deno. It's early days yet but for all the general scripting tasks I might use Python for, I find Deno a better fit. First class typescript is a killer feature, as is the fact that there is a semblan

Java or Typescript.

I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that if you need typing for Python, you might as well go full throttle and use Java (maybe TS/Deno?), unless you're in a specialized ecosystem like data science and you have no choic

Those appratchicks are no better than Soviet appratchicks who had their own litmus tests of what was and was not acceptable. I'm not from Russia or the ex Soviet sphere but I did spend a large portion of childhood in a communist system

I 100% agree with your conclusion, except without the pain. I like Java and I think in every way that counts, it makes sensible choices.

It's a net benefit. I just think that we've stretched Python into all kinds of directions which should be served by actually statically typed languages.

It IS the experience. Without the chat I would have checked out of the nonsense in a minute but the audience reacting to the endless non sequiturs truly made this an art.

I maintain Python code bases for a living, and feel that the language has simply been pushed too far. Static typing in Python doesn't give you the advantage of actually static typing and even IDE support is -- well it's not terrib

100% There's a vanishingly small number of applications where it's really going to make a difference. Use what your work uses, or if personal project what you like. The more I use React and co. the more I feel like it's all t

So train people to write better comments, because although code doesn't lie (questionable as that is since the intent behind the code and what it does doesn't always align) it can be literally the worst implantation of an algorith

Yeah I hate to agree with this because while I love the idea of LaTeX--yep, it doesn't separate content and style. You get markup all over the place and it's often cryptic as hell. My resume is in LaTeX and I hate editing it becau

Because there's not that much wrong with modern JS, with the "created in a weekend" mantra being wholly irrelevant.. Back when JS was trash there was was Coffeescript and other lesser used alternatives, and Google tried to pu

It's... Not even comparable. That bomb is a quaint toy compared to modern nuclear arsenal, and of course nobody would be launching one or two nukes today because it isn't 1945. Mass starvation, disease, loss of key infrastructure

PHP is far from my primary language, but in no universe is the language that powers so so much of the internet "small".

by lordgroff 4y ago
I hope you realize that "fixing" these types of early mistakes is almost impossible for PHP, a language which tries hard not to break things, especially something that's going to be used everywhere. But if this is such a deal

And for Alpine it's sort of fine. People have taken Alpine a lot further than the original intent, which is to add sprinkles of JS to what is otherwise a server rendered page. For anything even slightly more complicated we have things

Ooooh I see. So the idea is to add all the extra (standardized) components to the browser itself! Yes, that is a worthy goal indeed.

Can you explain how open-ui solves the problem? I went on the website, and to be fair I didn't really get it, but say for <breadcrumb /> component they give a proposal of what the HTML would look like in their proposed solut

Still the same issue though. What about Svelte? What about solid? What about mithril? I know this might seem like a "who cares" sort of thing since the industry has standardized on the three listed, but I find all three overkill f

I don't get this comment. I don't care if a usable web component is built with stencil, lit or not, what I care about is that I can use that same library WHETHER I'm using React, Vue, Svelte, Solid or whatever.

Anywhere you actually need React (and also React lite solutions like Preact or Alpine), which is essentially where your page isn't just a static page, web components by themselves don't do anything to handle the complexity of stat

It obviously hasn't happened, but I hope that web components eventually make serious inroads. A UI library for React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, whatever... Imagine being able to have a component library that works with any of them (or none o

There are macros in other languages but nowhere will they merge with the language as effortlessly as in the case of Lisp's syntax. The way Lisp is structured means that almost certainly if you're missing language feature X you can

This never made sense to me. Why is it bad there's several, especially at the current level of maturity, where both GNOME and KDE are perfectly viable options.

by lordgroff 4y ago
It's a far cry from an actually typed language. I like Python and deal with its code bases for a living, but frankly it has gotten too big for its britches.
