I think you're hung up on JSX being HTML - it isn't HTML and doesn't try to be. The "JS" stands for "JavaScript" and the "X" stands for XML, not HTML. > However, that means, that now one has s

I like this idea of advancing beyond line-based diffs into something more meaningful. If someone renames a variable/type/module/whatever which changes X lines of code across Y files, I really don't care to see all of tha

Hmm I wasn't talking about the values in the array, whether those are pointers or Int or whatever doesn't matter, but the allocation of the array data itself. If the collection has capacity=2 (2 words) and another element is pushe

How does this work for collection types (ex. dynamic array) that can reallocate after growing? If there's multiple references, with at least one being mutable. Is there an extra pointer hop as compared to, for example Rust's Vec?

It's not just speed, but also correctness. A quick search in the Prettier repo shows plenty of issues for "undefined is not a function", "cannot read property X of undefined/null", and other such errors that ar

Yeah, definitely for small devices. For things like VS Code's configuration file format (the parent comment) or other such use cases, I don't see a problem

Similar to javac, the C# compiler barely does any optimizations at all ahead of time. Optimizations are generally done at runtime by the JIT compiler in the CLR virtual machine

The central core of Rust is mutability NAND sharing, enforced by a borrow checker. Was that really established 30 years prior? I thought that came from the Cyclone research language (v1 release 2006) which was only a few years prior to the
