I don't think I understand how RTTI/reflection relates to this. When I imagine how a C++ implementation of something like React would look, my first thought is a bunch of functions which take whatever custom types they need (props

Last time I looked at QML (a few years ago), you couldn't just use any data in your UI directly, you had to wrap it in clunky models. When using C++, looks like you have to use things like QAbstractListModel https://qmlbook.

You can use TypeScript with JSX and you get all the checking (required properties, types of values, types of children, etc.) and everything. In fact, "TSX" is an official built-in part of TypeScript.

So how is it different from React and JSX?

I remember an old game called Mean City ( https://www.mobygames.com/game/mean-city-learn-english-or-di... ) that tried to do something similar (minus the VR and the voice parts). There were probably others.

There is this video about inline styles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3OF4A30jSQ , based on a lot of real-world experience. It addresses some of these points at 35:23 - that you can kind of make CSS work if you always do

>If style becomes out of fashion, you have to modify files that contain logic. So just put the styles in separate .js files and import them.

Groovy had the same feature well over a decade ago[1] (at least in 2005) and other languages possibly even before that. Swift was first announced in 2014. Swift's is also tied to their `Optional<T>` wrapper type, any potential JS

Presumably people will only use it in situations where null (or undefined, or however it works) is a valid and expected value for a particular property. In TypeScript, these properties would explicitly have a `MyType|null` or `MyType|undefi

It's not all sunshine and rainbows. - Start menu was crap without search. Search, and being able to just start typing, is extremely important for day-to-day usability. - The toolbars of many applications used to contain far too many bu

Having to specify the path using an array of strings would be an instant dealbreaker for me. It messes with all tooling and is bad for readability.

I would recommend immer ( https://github.com/mweststrate/immer ) instead of ImmutableJS. You can work with regular JS objects, plus it plays much nicer with TypeScript.

I think a PWA (progressive web app), that people get directly through your website, is a more viable alternative. As long as you don't need some native-only functionality of course.

There's a difference in knowing how to use a TV and knowing how to design and manufacture a TV. Or a difference between Jesse Pinkman and Walter White. I guess we don't need to stretch this joke too far.

Reddit's mobile site is also intentionally user-hostile to try to get them to use the app. Although that's not a part of the recent redesign, they had that for a long time now.

>I get it's faster to write dynamically typed code I would dispute that, but I guess it depends on one's workflow. Different workflows work better with different kinds of type systems.

Nice to hear from someone with experience in this area. I wonder though, if the problem with existing platforms is in the environment and tooling, is a new programming language going to help? Wouldn't it make more sense to build better

You could still do the following in Java: Class<? extends FooInterface> c = FooBar.class; FooInterface newInstance = c.newInstance() But people usually choose not to, because it still leaves the construction details up to

There is also the meme of having a lot of never-played games in one's Steam collection, that were purchased during sales. So it affects entertainment too.

I'm still using my mid-2012 Asus laptop that was like €1300 at the time. I did buy a few upgrades since then (16GB RAM, bigger SSD, new battery) but given that I don't do any gaming, there is very little that a new purschase would

Compared to Java, Kotlin also adds nullable types and sealed classes. The built-in syntax for lambda types could also be considered a part of the type system. Or the fact that inline lambdas let you use non-local returns ( https:/&#x2F
