But what's the value proposition of this solution then ? If I need to run separate processes anyway what's the benefit over running webpack with TS and a fork checker ?

by rubber_duck 6y ago
I know how it works and I work with TS on a daily basis - the problem is you can't rely on editor type checking because all editors (Idea and TS language server) do type checking on the currently open file - so as soon as your module i

But you're basically trying to superset the TS compiler. If this doesn't cover TS typechecking then it fails on it's promise of a single pass compiler stack. Are you suggesting that TS team is so incompetent or legacy burdene

by rubber_duck 6y ago
But without typechecking I still have to run a separate tool during development (which is where single pass performance matters the most me) - so suddenly it's not a single parse all-in-one solution.

by rubber_duck 6y ago
I get that - but since TS is also OSS you can fork and upstream, still sounds like less work than writing everything from scratch.

by rubber_duck 6y ago
Why start this from scratch ? Why not build on top of TypeScript ? I get the single pass rationale but isn't it possible to integrate a bundler into TypeScript compiler ? I'm just wondering because Microsoft has a decently sized t

I think a big part in this story will be Brexit and how much UK turns to US for trade partnership and how much friction that causes over EU industry interest groups.

That sounds like it would make the development iteration even more terrible than it was - WASM builds were slooow last time I tried it - with webpack in HMR mode or flutter you get instant feedback - this is probably the biggest productivit

by rubber_duck 6y ago
I have to admit I don't use node REPL a lot but what issues are you having ? Once they added await to REPL I didn't really have issues with testing async code, but again I only did small projects with node.

How is REPL not a built-in feature of node ? Adding a REPL to any interpreted dynamic language should be trivial.
