Also, the back button doesn't work properly for navigations on the site.

To be honest, in my ideal world, mshta, Electron and the like would be discontinued and, instead, there'd be a cross-desktop-platform HTML/CSS/JS app-runtime (_not a browser!_). This runtime should support a sensible, large s

For the curious: Here's a completely unfinished guide to how you might start developing such an application: https://marksweb.site/hta/ From HTAs, you have access to the file system, the network, the registry, the

Well, you can use IE 9 in HTAs - that browser is plenty capable. :) Been using this as a Windows-only Electron alternative for years.

Been using this for years. Mostly really useful. Sometimes tricky to get right since the available APIs are semi-well documented and it's JScript, which is some sort of old Internet Explorer-ish version of JavaScript. By the way, there

Don't think that's the case. Deno is older and more mature than Bun in many respects. For example, Bun does not support Windows yet.

by mark_and_sweep 3y ago
You're reiterating Deno's feature list. Plus Deno's far more stable and works on Windows. So I'd suggest you go ahead and try Deno.

The biggest issue, in my experience, has always been its performance. Perhaps I have only worked in organisations that have completely misconfigured their Jira instances or the servers are underpowered, but even with the Atlassian Cloud, I

Note that import maps are optional. I mostly just open my editor for a Deno project and I'm good to go. :)

I think you are both right. Some people love innovation, others love stability.

Personally, I haven't heard of any Kotlin devs going back to Java nor of any Deno devs going back to Node.

by mark_and_sweep 3y ago
Have you tried Deno yet? I've been using it for years now, without any config. It's fast, too.

by mark_and_sweep 3y ago
I'm not sure you understand the point of Deno if you say that the Node ecosystem does something strange so Deno should do it, too... Magic file resolution was one of the regrets explicitly mentioned in Ryan's first talk introducin

Which other tooling allows you to import a `.ts` file from a `.js` import? Not knowing much about the issue, this seems like a rather strange decision to me: If I'm importing a `.js` file, and it does not exist, I'd prefer an erro

Don't think there's ever gonna be a merge, but both Deno and Node contribute to the Web-interoperable Runtimes Community Group (WinterCG) so at least their JS Web API surface should converge. https://wintercg.org/

Not needed at all. In fact, I've never used and will never use a package.json in any of my Deno projects. They added the feature to "enabl[e] developers to transition from existing Node projects with ease." https:/&#x2F

The back button doesn't work on function detail pages. (Using Firefox 110 on Android.)

I wonder why they are not using XML.

> without npm, where would Node be now? Probably nowhere. I disagree. There were and still are good competing package managers and registries. Perhaps, in an alternate universe, yarn might have won. Or in yet another universe, node would

> Deno seems to be a solution looking for a problem On the contrary. Ryan Dahl, the person who created node, came up with deno, specifically to address a number of problems (or regrets) he had with node: see https://youtu.be&#

Agreed. Deno Deploy is actually a great product. I'm using it for all of my side projects now.

Fetch is not included in v8. If it were, node would have had it earlier... Deno doesn't mean 'destroy node', it's just node reordered.

Regarding iv), I disagree that one should not expect this to happen. There's a stage 1 ES proposal for allowing TS-like syntax in the browser: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-type-annotations So there's good

For anyone excited about this project: The repo does not contain a compiler yet. It's just an intention to build one.

Any data to support this claim? I'd argue the opposite: Especially in web dev, Windows is king since most people, including semi-professionals, do some sort of web dev.
