This is my same experience except with Clojure. It’s pretty much equivalent to well written JavaScript. Actually no, the latter is usually cleaner and clearer.

I interpreted that sentence as meaning it was integrated into the JRuby project as a "home" for the project, similar to being under the management of a particular github org. Not that its implementation was in any way changed or i

IIRC TruffleRuby is implemented very differently than JRuby and has a lot more potential. So I'm not sure any comparisons can really be made.

As cool as 3-char domain names.

Ironically, we are most capable and productive when we're constrained and have limitations.

On the note of the Desert Fathers, the "Life of St. Anthony" written by St. Athanasius is one of my favorite books, and is a relatively short and accessible read: http://newadvent.org/fathers/2811.htm or for

I know there are Win32 Lua APIs. Maybe this is a 10 line windows app that just loads those in a host that loads main.lua?

I've been wanting for a while a lightweight Electron alternative that doesn't use web views, just native APIs, and uses Lua instead. So it would be an .exe file that looks for a main.lua somewhere, and runs it, giving access to mo

I've been wanting to make some .NET apps for our family's use (like a timer etc.) but don't know C# so I figured maybe I should just start off learning F# since I have a FP background. So is F# pretty much Rust but with GC? O

Fulton Sheen has spilled a significant amount of ink against psychiatry, and against many forms of psychology, because they all reject the existence of the soul. And if the soul does exist, but we make all sorts of assumptions based on the

I was under the impression that VS is amazing and the best-of-the-best IDE as long as you're entirely working within the MS ecosystem and your employer is paying for all of it. I never heard anyone hating VS itself, just MS or perhaps

Yeah that's one reason I keep wanting to try desktop linux again. But then I remember how much work it will be to get drivers working reliably and consistently. Also the fact that there's still really no consistency on linux, e.g.

I very much miss the system theming of Windows XP era. Sure it often looked like crap but sometimes it was great too. Maybe it’s just nostalgia though. But I guess we still have that with desktop Linux...... for the trade offs.

The DOM stitches several useful but unrelated concepts together. Besides just being a tree of composable views: * You can query elements arbitrarily deep using different patterns (depth, class names, ids, tag names, attribute presence/

I don't see what s-expressions have to do with this concept. It should be just as doable and nice in JS...

I just looked over their website for 10 minutes and still can't figure out how it handles more complex nested components with complex state. Is it like Elm and Redux where it has a giant tree and you have to update the root with a bunc

I wondered what happened to .prop() which looked like it had a lot of potential. Looks like that potential was (at least partially?) realized as it evolved into a "stream" library [1], which basically acts like cells in a spreadsh

On the note of runtimes that are “outside the boxes” of tokio and async-std, I found a really cool generator lib [0] for Rust that uses async/await (and has macro API to hide this if you want) but implements an extremely simple runtime

I wonder if something like https://github.com/zserge/webview but using Lua for the backend side (to avoid the need to recompile it) would be lightweight in just the right ways while still being (almost) as good as Elec

by sdegutis 7y ago
Super cool. If someone wraps this with Clojure for the backend, ClojureScript for the front-end, and hides jpackage and NPM (or whatever ClojureScript uses) details, this would be a great Electron alternative.

So reagent skips this by only re rendering a parent of only the parent changed and only re rendering the child of the child’s j out changed? (Presumably using its atoms for props then too and not just state?) This somehow sounds error prone

JavaFX seems like it was a good incremental step over Swing but right at a time when the web’s paradigm (the DOM, a brilliant concept) was becoming popular and was a leap beyond Swing. So JavaFX has the same problem as Windows Vista: too li

> outperforms plain React a lot of the time due to optimizations that re-render components only when their inputs change Is this not exactly how React also works?

I honestly cannot imagine how that would be more performant than just using Electron by itself the typical way, unless this was a very CPU intensive application like a video editor.

Someone should turn this into areweobsoleteyet.com and print no as long as currentYear < 2111 (assuming "hundred year language" naming story is true).

True enough for me at least. But now that I have thought about it, I yet remain of GPs opinion.

From Mac OS X 10.0, labels were simply text boxes with editable set to false, both being NSTextField, and when it seemed reasonable that the user might want to copy it, you used Interface Builder to mark it as selectable.

First of all Apple does not follow its HIG in many ways. But even aside from that, the HIG itself changes every few years, sometimes drastically such as the iOS 7 departure. And it takes many apps time to catch up. One example is Apple&#x27
