You are most likely looking at code which has been compiled to target an older ES version which doesn't have these features.

Does anyone know if that is also the case on V8?

My general worry is that the performance gains from using some WASM will just get eaten up by the overhead of jump between JS and WASM and having to copy/convert data. You might be able reduce the problem by porting more stuff from the

I pay attention to things in this area as I've been working a terminal which aims to do new and interesting things with text and also non-text datatypes. See "Shell integration" and below at https://extraterm.org&#

A possible way of doing what you describe might be to add an extra file descriptor or two when invoking processes. Along side the normal stdin, stdout, and stderr, you might have a couple more where a protocol can be used to negotiate and s

The general problem with these kinds of TUI apps isn't the shortcuts but the complete lack of discoverability of the commands and their shortcuts. The expectation that people have to go and the read the documentation and then memorise

The underlying stack is Electron. So if Chrome runs on on Wayland, then Extraterm will too.

Thanks in advance for trying it out. If you stay using it or not, do create issues on GitHub for missing features or things which could be improved, otherwise I just won't know what people need/want. I can understand your concerns

If "usable as iTerm2" means the terminal actually aims to have features, then you can try my project Extraterm ( https://extraterm.org/ ). It supports ligatures and more.

The problem actually existed before Unicode appeared. Terminals which supported Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters have had to deal with 2 cell wide glyphs, even for text encodings which use 1 byte per glyph. If you see the term "

I built some of those kinds of cursors features into my terminal. http://extraterm.org/features.html It is never too late to steal features that the Commodore 64 could do in the early 80s (!!!). oh, Extraterm can help you r

V8 also has an interpreter which runs first while code is being compiled or has yet to be identified as a JIT candidate.

This line of counterargument is built on the very flimsy assumption that an alien intelligence is just like us with similar thoughts and motivations. There is zero reason to believe that would be the case.

VS Code has very little native code outside Electron itself.

I'm guessing it is because people who create these hacking tools often need to do HTTP requests, so they just copy in libcurl source and before you know it Daniel's name is associated with all these tools and attacks.

I've been working on my own terminal for a while now, and capturing the output of separate commands and reusing it is one it its unique features. See Extraterm in [action here]( http://extraterm.org/features.html#shell-i

That still doesn't work very well. I have Firefox on one half of my 1440p monitor and vertical tabs down the left side. Web pages I see are tall and narrow, and many fall back to mobile style controls.

Are you seriously suggesting that no one in the UK could reasonably be expected to know that the UK was leaving the EU?

The Brexit vote was over 4 years ago. There was even a 1 year extension to the withdrawal period bringing the deadline up to end 2020. How much more warning and time did people need? They've literally had 4 and half years of warning a

It's not punishment. It is just simply applying the same rules to the UK as other countries outside the EU. It is from a feeling of entitlement by some in the UK to complain about the rules they aggreeded to.

I would argue that "capitalist democracy" is the least wrong of the two.

This whole approach of trying to understand Nordic and European countries from the angle of "Socialism" is just stupid. The link between these countries and historical Socialism (i.e. USSR) is so weak that the term Socialism just

I don't know how far back your view on web development goes, but the approach from 20 years ago really was documents being thrown around and lots of forms with a little bit of JS. That was hacking documents into apps. Today's appr

Your git example is very similar to what can be done in my terminal, [Extraterm]( https://extraterm.org/ ). See demo here: https://extraterm.org/features.html#reusing-command-output Thanks for the tip about A

Yes, a lot like a union mount except that it was read only and easy to modify. Assigns were often used for things that we today would stuff into an environment variable to represent an array of paths. Instead of an environment variable for
