   Yes and no. WebAssembly itself has no IO except for its linear memory. So many programs will then have to have a component in a system-native language (e.g. to write files). So technically I'm not sure how much you can abstract away fo

   I think you're right that the market will tell another story. It's because as a person that makes decisions like a VC or CEO, it's easy to say yes to an integration with a company like Slack or Front, as the upcoming producti

   Also what I don't get is why companies are entering this uphill battle anyways. It's like trying to inovate on chairs, just because someone fell down once. But you can't fundamentally change the nature of chairs anymore. We&#

   All these companies trying to innovate on email by making user interface tweaks should really re-adjust their priorities. Email at its core is a protocol. That's great. But we haven't achieved widespread encryption within the netw

    While surely it's not a good fit for every project, I really like semantic css frameworks. In a recent project of mine where web design didn't matter that much yet, I ended up using http://classless.de/ . It made b

    Let's say you refactor code, then you might be inclined to change a type signature somewhere, which means you'll adjust your program until the compiler isn't complaining anymore. You'll work until the compiler is silent.

    100% agreed. But my point is that I usually find these types of bugs really easy when unit testing.

    Why so aggressive? I asked a simple question out of interest. Again, I think there's a difference between bug and a coding error. A bug is a mismatch between a software's function and the user's expectation. And a typed-infe

    As someone that's extensively testing their application, I don't get the bug argument either. Sure some bugs are found during compile time. Actually, it's not bugs the compiler finds. Rather it's inconsitencies between t

    Hey thanks! I was actually experimenting with web GL to build a similar instrument as Ableton's wave table! But I'm not full time, so it's taking forever...

    At this point I don't propose any design. But I'm confident it can be done. You seem to know the challenges ahead. Mind sharing?

    Heeey, glad you asked! I'm not full-time on this, but I'm trying to build an OSS DAW. Here is a first tiny demo: https://timdaub.github.io/wasm-synth/ I also wrote about it: https://timdaub.github.

    I'm kinda surprised that apparently we've moved on from SPAs. I've recently started a new project with preact and an express backend, and I'm in love with the smoothness of the dev experience. Seems like all my problems

    I think Desktop UI is great. What I dislike instead is my Android phone's UI. It's 100% proprietary, meaning I have little influence over some decisions. E.g., if I don't want to be disturbed on my PC, I just quit all messeng
