At least when it comes to parsers, it makes sense for Babel to want to be "in control" of their destiny here. Its really hard to draw a line between transpiling and parsing, especially when many of the features you are implementin

This is one of the benefits of using a container-based system like the one we designed for https://tonicdev.com . On Tonic, you get the same conveniences displayed here (actually better since all the packages already exist, so n

We're building tonicdev.com (similar to iPython/Swift Playgrounds). A lot of these ideas are very difficult in the general case. For just one example, we spent a long time reasoning about time traveling (and came up with what we t

We share a similar vision at Tonic that code snippets should be completely runnable. With Tonic embeds ( https://tonicdev.com/embed ) your code is automatically connected to every version of every one of the 300,000 library

Yeah, it was outside the scope of this blog post, but if you look at how its implemented here: https://github.com/tolmasky/generic-jsx/blob/master/generic-... you'll see it deals with both cases.

In case anyone is curious, I have since posted some additional thoughts: 1. Unifying default parameters with curried named parameters: https://tonicdev.com/tolmasky/default-parameters-with-generi... 2. Using generic JS

JSX provided a convenient syntax to have named parameters in JavaScript. Additionally, it results in nice data structure literals, and finally, you get the same benefits "for free" in a React app by doing this. The main thing here

Yeah the use of eval is purely to get it working today . The ideal would be to just change the JSX parser to place whatever is in the JSX tag directly. That would also give you arbitrary expressions: <memoize(f) key = "value&

Yeah definitely an inspiration (and mentioned twice in the blog post). The main differences (unless I'm mistaken), are the parameter name mapping (which make it easy for differing APIs to interact well) and the idea of separating funct

Yup, couldn't agree more and that's exactly one of the concerns I'm trying to address in the blog post ("All in all, the resulting effect in my exprience is that currying makes writing code far more pleasurable, but ofte

Actually it is, at least the npm website. Every page on npm has a "try it now" link that takes you to a page on tonicdev where you can try the package. For example: http://tonicdev.com/npm/canvas - no need to

If you want to use JavaScript, Tonic ( http://tonicdev.com ) is exactly this workflow. It has every single package on npm already pre-installed (so absolutely no set up - straight to code), and gives you a complete node environmen

I think you've touched on something key: people's acceptance of bugs is often outweighed by the new features they get. In other words, if the "new functionality" is perceived to outweigh the costs of the lack of reliabil
