I've started communicating a clear expectation ( https://prosemirror.net/#about ) that profitable users help support my software. Of course, most still won't, but some do, and with a big enough user base those contr

Building a new JIT for a dynamic language, if it is supposed to be competitive with JS compilers, is a project several orders of magnitude bigger than building a runtime like this. TypeScript's design is very much that of a typing laye

That's by a different author with no connection to this book, though, so calling it equivalent is misleading.

This aligns with my experience with https://eloquentjavascript.net , except that I put it online before publishing on paper, and my hunch is that it wouldn't have reached anywhere near the level of fame (and thus sales) it d

Not all invariants relate to allocation. Rust protects you from a whole class of shared-mutable-state issues that JavaScript and Lisp are zero help with.
38.
by marijn 7y ago
Rust is also C, if the fact that you can't encode all possible invariants into the type system makes a language C. But this is a spectrum, not a dichotomy, and TypeScript falls somewhere way beyond C, but below Rust, in what you can st

The assumption that those who care about treating others decently can not at the same time be good technologists speaks volumes.

It is, if you include a JS interpreter in your wasm bundle. But it isn't a good idea. JS is a language that needs a runtime, the browser _has_ a JS engine, and not using that would just be counterproductive and wasteful.

Note that though this lists ProseMirror as one of the evaluated editors, followed by a bullet list of issues, only one of those issues can reasonably be considered to apply to ProseMirror—and that's "Re-inventing the view layer&qu

While it sounds very reasonable, friendly, and non-authoritarian, a big problem with an approach like this, without real teeth or rigidity, is that it is very easy to harass people out of a community while staying within its constraints, an

Nice! I too, would love to read more on the OT/CRDT trade-off. Companion reading (the approach taken in ProseMirror, which was implemented in significantly less person-years): http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/blog/collabo

Awesome to see the stupid trick to abbreviate object properties that I came up with in 2010 [1] is still a living part of the mini JS demo scene. [1]: http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/js1k/

As long as the types on both sides match, the behavior of == is perfectly reasonable, and in typical uses, this will be the case.

Makes sense. But I guess precise paths (ending with .js) are recognized and cause no actual file system searching?
51.
by marijn 8y ago
Another question—does this also resolve from directory paths to index.js, add missing extensions, and so on, or does it only map package names to directories? As in, does this get rid of all 'superfluous' file system access during

by marijn 8y ago
This seems to be solving a problem quite similar to the one of getting browsers to resolve non-relative imports (without file system access, they also need a precise map from module names to paths). Unfortunately, I can't remember who

We're not really using shims, just targeting the lowest-common-denominator contentEditable behavior that we can count on, and implementing anything else ourselves.

It should not be hard to do this as a plugin, but the core maintainers are unlikely to work on it.

There's a lot of architectural influence on the new CodeMirror from our ProseMirror work, but the actual systems are different enough that code sharing didn't really work (or, at least, would add enough levels of extra indirection

It provides significant advantages when it comes to noticing bugs and including types (also for docs) in the code from the start. I feel that TypeScript is widely enough known at this point (and close enough to JavaScript to figure it out q
