I would love to see a wasm repl online. Something that's focused on teaching the language, not for people who are going to write compilers that target it, but for people who are confused about what it is and how it works, as a way of d

And how does this work if it involves an open file handle, or some other non serializable state?

by sbjs 8y ago
This is fascinating, but it seems like it only applies to "one shot" programs, like compilers. How applicable is this in the web application space, where state is usually stored externally to the process itself? If used in the way

I did pick JavaScript as an opinionated suggestion. But really what I meant was that a garbage collected, simple OOP, high-level language is much better than a performance-based efficiency focused language when most of what you use it for h

Swift is #6 on that list, TypeScript is #4. Swift is a completely new language which has a big overhead to learn from start to finish, but JavaScript has a lot of momentum and existing developers since it is already the lingua franca of the

I don't understand cache fully, but I do know that if you open Dev Tools in Chrome and long-press the Refresh button, it will give you a drop down with the option "Empty Cache and Hard Reload", and also shows you that Shift+C

All the other answers are great, but I think they're missing the biggest and most important reason: a social network run by any government entity would only run on Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox 2, would store your password in plain te

Good to know. I haven't used Flask recently, I have used Express.js which is Node.js's version of Flask, and I really like how simple it is. Most apps these days seem to have a REST (or GraphQL) backend and dynamic (often React.js

People who feel this way usually use Flask instead. Worth checking out. http://flask.pocoo.org/

But this article is just explaining operator overloading, right? Doesn't everyone learn that halfway through semester in C++ 101? And operator overloading has nothing to do with DRY, in fact it's generally better to avoid it excep

I use Night Shift. I'm able to fall asleep minutes after closing my laptop and laying down. For me it's more about comfort than sleep. The blue light is much too bright late at night. My computer no longer hurts my eyes when I sta

Also I would personally prefer for the "tag" box to have a save button next to it. It wasn't clear to me whether it autosaves or if I was supposed to type the name before clicking "add friend". Could just be me thou

Very cool! I think it's especially great that this is a browser plugin instead of a separate website. It's great when developers make things as easy as possible on users. Nice job, I'll be giving it a try!

The thing is, this is almost identical to well written JavaScript. In fact you could do almost all of this in JS even before ES5. So the non-Java-like features you're using here were already present, which again suggests that Dart isn&

These days it's mostly about apps, because apps are the main thing that facilitate the transfer of $$$. In the 80s and 90s, enterprises were full of $$$ and needed fast and safe languages for writing all their software. C++ came out to

A language by itself is almost never useful, every language needs a killer app, a concrete tangible thing that that language can do better 100x better than any alternative. Like how Ruby had Rails or JS had browsers or Python has ML. That’s

I think Dart started internal development around the same time CoffeeScript gained major popularity and brought attention to JS's desperate need to evolve, but they released at a bad time: when JS finally did start to evolve (as Harm

I think what killed Dart is that they emphasized their plans to make Dart a first-class scripting language of Chrome, so that you could use <script type="text/dart"> instead of JavaScript. This had a lot of backlash f

Since there's so much competition in this area, hopefully this means Apple and Google will start to make this style of development a native part of their APIs and IDEs.

It's also neat how TextMate syntax files came to be the de facto syntax format that Sublime Text and VS Code use.

I was suggesting that they don't have executable code at all, that they use static configuration. But it may not be possible within their problem domain, I don't know. I always prefer static solutions until dynamic becomes necessa
