It is web-based, yes. I was aware of WebRTC but assumed I would need a least to host the server myself. I'm looking at the links you provided and they seem very interesting. Thank you.

I'm also writing an online version of a board game I like, to play with family and friends. I am about to start the networking part, and I actually intended to implement the deterministic approach, although I didn't know the conce

I'm afraid not. Otherwise I would have had some head start for this one. ;-)

I'm not an expert in regexes in other platforms, but already if you want a common subset between Java and JS, you're limited to the following constructs: * Literal characters * Some escape sequences for literal characters: \t \r \

I'm curious: what is the advantage of a custom engine over calling the JavaScript's `RegExp` via the interop layer of Wasm<->JS? I guess you'd have to convert the Wasm input string to a JS string, but is there any other

I'd be happy to help, if someone wants to take the lead, and there is buy in from the maintainers of Regexr. I believe my contact is available in my profile. Otherwise, I'm really not hard to find on the internet. ;)

Not directly related, but recently I've built a regex engine that was a bit different: I implemented the semantics of Java's java.util.regex.Pattern on top of JavaScript's RegExp. This is for Scala.js' implementation of

Those combinations are indeed quite common in Belgium. Another example: myself :-p (Sébastien Doeraene).

This kind of hacks is a major part of how we made Scala.js' 64-bit integers fast (the fastest known implementation of 64-bit integers on JavaScript). See [1] for the implementation, and [2] at section 4.4 for the long explanation with

It's a specific term used in the ECMAScript specification [1]. That refers to any object for which at least one internal method does not behave like for a standard object created for example with `{}`. [1] http://www.ecma-in

Your comment makes sense if we think of FP as being about "function values". In a world where all sorts of programming languages have function values, this is not a strong enough characterization anymore (if it ever truly was). Fu

I'm sorry but that statement is simply false. Scala does default to, and encourage, immutability.

In the small, Rescript generates smaller code than Scala.js, that is true. It is mostly a question of the interdependencies in the standard Scala collection library, though, not so much the semantics of the language. And Scala.js also has i

Absolutely. That guy's video may have caused a lot of spammy PRs, but I'm pretty sure they're far from the majority.

This is unfortunately so true. Last year I got away with "only" 4 or 5 spam PRs (and 0 legitimate one). But this year I've already got 2 before my timezone reached October! Digital Ocean, please stop this.

It depends. GCC (the Google Closure Compiler) indeed does some transformations that will improve run-time performance, but it is not its forte, and definitely not its primary goal. In the benchmarks of Scala.js [1], another compiler that us

I believe the biggest challenge has actually been to resist scope creep. Knowing where to stop, and push back when users would like us to add something that does not fit the scope, is sometimes difficult. Scala.js was never a toy project. I
