I just had a look at the dom implementation and it similar to what I have done in typescript. There is only so many ways you can skin a cat. If you are wishing to do something similar yourself it is worth looking at hyperscript source code:

Because each library does one thing only and it is easy to understand that particular abstraction. With a framework you not only have to learn how build things in the framework (which takes a lot of time to become truly proficient) I also h

No my own bias isn't a feeling . It is how I tend to think . The fact of the matter that most problems need to be solved in a manner which is directed by the facts. What someone else feels is almost completely irrelevant. We need to

Why would you need to know their feelings to find the actual root cause of a problem? You need to know the facts and then make a decision based on them.

The very acronym itself redefines violence to something it isn't which is always a red flag. This all sounds like the worst parts of working in a lot of modern offices where people don't speak frankly and instead everything is don

With regards to IE specific code. Generally the approach I would take would: 1) Code normally and check compatibility of functions with the minimum version of IE. I then either polyfill the browser (if I understand the polyfill, some poly

What killed IE (I am not a IE hater) is the amount of extra work you had to invest to get a site to work. I've recently done some work that had to work with versions of IE9-11. I consider myself pretty good with writing front end code
