This appears to be using my port of the PCE emulator[1]. It's also used on the Internet Archive, which has a collection of HyperCard stacks which you can run in the browser[2]. I have a short tutorial[3] for running HyperCard stacks lo

How did you extract concerns from class components and reuse them previously? Easy and hygienic extraction and composability of concerns literally is something new enabled by Hooks that was not offered by class components. You're also

How is this different to using a React component installed from npm? You can look inside them if you want to, but don't have to. That is the goal of abstraction. If you want to have no abstraction and show all state in your component,

Here is a visual example of how hooks move all the parts of a single concern into a single block of code which, in a class component, would be littered across lifecycle methods: https://twitter.com/threepointone/status

Traits are okay: React 'Mixins' which I mentioned in my parent post are basically traits but at the framework level, which allows them to be smart about composing/merging the use of framework functionality normally accessed b

How do you compose two base classes into a subclass? That's basically what hooks allows. You can use two different, unrelated custom hooks in one component, and a different combination in another component, without having to bundle the

Hooks address a very specific problem with classes: composability. You can use the various builtin hooks to do stuff that (in class-based React) previously required implementing methods (eg. componentDidUpdate). Using those methods works fi

I would recommend just following the official React tutorial: https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html There are many other tutorials on the web but the official one has had a lot of work put in to making it seamless

Hold on. I'm not a fan of Communism, but there's a pretty clear difference. The Soviet Union was a particular implementation of Communism which chose killing. Killing is not an inherent requirement to the ideology. Contemporar

Fair enough. What I'm trying to get at is that you need to pay attention to the cost of the real world queries which are actually being executed against your API, and then optimize. I'm not sure that SQL is a magic bullet there ei

by mambodog 9y ago
If you have low latency queries (eg. because most things hit cache rather than db) sequential queries aren't as much of a problem. Being able to join everything into one query, on the other hand, is a luxury which can be hard to mainta

I don't think Reason is like Elm in this way. Whereas Elm requires you to wholly buy in to the Elm world, Reason can easily be brought into a large existing codebase. Large chunks of messenger.com are written in Reason. I'm pretty

At this stage, the only thing you need to do to get Reason to 'work' is to use Create Reason React App (when targeting the browser). The language/compiler itself is installed as an npm package(!). The only other things to ins

If your question is about why one would use Reason, Reason is an interesting alternative to Javascript for building web front ends (though it also can compile to very fast native code for backend/systems use too). Some things I feel ar

Are you talking about async DOM APIs? Because I'm pretty sure framework authors have been explicitly asking for that.

Sounds like you're confusing 'simple' with 'easy'. Rich Hickey does a good job of contrasting the two in Simple Made Easy[0]. The essential part of Redux is only 44 lines of simple code [1]. You can understand every
