Yeah I think one of the main things that React offers is a DSL for trees (JSX) that can lexically close over and also splice in JavaScript. Languages that allow creating your own DSLs offer this for other realms such as shader coding, logic

Cool. :O What have you seen that's cool and what's repeating? Maybe it's all cycles anyways at diff. frequencies.

Not saying you can make hardcore things on it yet, but: https://github.com/exponent/floatyplane ;) Expo includes a `GLView` component that provides a WebGL-like API to OpenGL ES. Things like three.js run on it directly

by nikki93 10y ago
Re: the C++ thing. Yup you can! That's actually how Expo's `GLView` (which exposes OpenGL ES as a WebGL'y API in React Native's JS context) works. The binding is done in common C++ code for both iOS and Android. Calling

You can also use ClojureScript on React Native for both iOS and Android. Lets you use things like reagent or re-frame that work well with persistent data structures. It's actually super easy with Expo, which makes it so you don't

Computation is what the compiler would get you to start, another aspect would be to tie that to display somehow. The clock here had to be visually displayed. So some sort of display driver situation is needed that is drivable from the compu

I think it could be neat if the spec of the s-exp was read from local hints rather than top-down prescription. You could show a color picker for color argument to a function etc. clojure.spec seems a cool tool.

In my experience yes, linear algebra, graph theory, a little topology, category theory are pretty good. If you do raymarching rendering of scalar distance fields, a new form of rendering I'm currently interested in, there are forms of

Using such words as "conquering X" can happen in euphoric moments where you make small progress. It can be taken as how you take things not literally in poetry. I would guess that if you were to ask the author, they wouldn't

Being mad at people like this is what makes them shy away from math. This works in any discipline. Let's be helpful and loving, I promise it feels nice, even though high horses are nice too. "Mindstorms" by Seymour Papert is

I think it may also be that initially, skeumorphism was used to educated the general public as to the intuitions of the UI, but after that intuition become more and more widespread generally, the UI could turn into a more abstract and minim

This is funny/meta because the idea of ownership (almost in a way reminiscent of weak vs. strong pointers haha), I feel, originates from some semblance of ego and associated 'territorialism' which RAW touches on in eg. Promet

Just saw the right arrow description thing and played with a bit (it's in-browser) -- seems like toward the Flash IDE.

You could try running ClojureScript over React Native. Nice thing about that is you use React paradigms for UI which IMO makes ClojureScript really shine, and you can use Figwheel etc. and it can be cross-platform.

Haven't gone past the first slide yet, but FWIW with ES6 you could do something like: [nikki ~]$ node > const bind = (fn, obj, ...args1) => (...args2) => fn.call(obj, ...args1, ...args2) undefined > bind(console.l

Do you think it's about this; and the "scalability" of the software stuff confuses one part of the manufacturing (copypaste by distribution through people installing from internet) with another part of it (copypaste by progra

It actually is based on the re-natal code but automatically saves and uses the devserver ip and doesnt need th ios/android native code because it runs in Exponent. Other than that the functionality is the same I think, with the same di

by nikki93 10y ago
ClojureScript along with re-frame/reagent/etc. can actually be used with Exponent too! "lein new exponent my-project" creates an exponent project, ready with figwheel for live REPL. The template can be found here if you

Well I think there is a lot of complexity in the interpreter of the math string. For example, imagine I write an interpreter that takes a single character, and if it's 'A' gives a mandelbrot fractal, 'B' a burning s

Also if you meant automated testing, here's an Exponent app that runs jasmine to test Exponent SDK API end-to-end: https://github.com/exponentjs/test-suite This is useful for testing network requests, API calls, e

Yup! Since our client code is open source, you could run a custom fork of our client that includes the native module(s) you want and still use the JavaScript app code you've written with it. If you end up making such a change let us kn

This is awesome! One of the things I've been thinking about lately is what are the languages that lend themselves to "true" livecoding. Like what if you want to change the class hierachy while you're already in a game an

To call it purely technical is also myopic IMO... The GUI/typewriter change the previous post talks about is a paradigm shift much like in Kuhn's scientific revolution literature. Some neat aspects are paradigm shifts in like musi

No they said "vim is intuitive, once X." Which is a different statement. It means "X => vim is intuitive," which can also be true when the antecedent (X) is false if going down the material implication route. Here X i

No one is said vim is an intuitive UI, or whatever. It's simply the conditional like A => B, where A is "you know what c, a and w" mean, and then B is regarding another feature that becomes intuitive once A is true. Pick a

by nikki93 10y ago
Hmm I disagree. At first it isn't intuitive, then it becomes intuitive after practice. I think what the commenter meant by "once you understand" is "once you have practiced." Sort of like how skiing becomes intuitiv
