You’re not wrong. I’ve used tig, a git TUI that renders very nice views of the diffs, for many years: https://jonas.github.io/tig/ Fun fact: Jonas, the creator of tig, is an ex-colleague of mine. It’s cool working with

1. Compile times. OCaml compiles very quickly (think Go) and this gives you a fast feedback loop. It lets the LLM rip through the implementation. 2. OCaml has an idiomatic approach of using interface files for all modules that can be access

I'd be very interested to read this paper when it comes out.

Haha, good one. You said ‘the creator is stuck in 2012 as I said’. Except that was said by a different user account ;-)

It’s not really decentralized in that way. If you’re loading a bunch of pages in your mobile browser, your device is paying the power consumption cost of deserializing, parsing, and running all that JS. It doesn’t save on that because some

Are you sock-puppeting two different user accounts in this discussion? https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=asdfsa32 I didn’t realize that was allowed. What do HN mods think of that, dang?

Parsing and processing several megabytes of JS for each page you visit can get expensive quickly. https://tonsky.me/blog/js-bloat/

The client pays it. - If the server is responding with JSON, the client has to parse, decode, and validate the JSON. Then it has to transform it into HTML DOM nodes. Finally, it can inject them into the DOM. - If the server is responding wi

That's super simple, it's your favourite backend web framework. Rails, Spring Boot, Laravel, Django, Flask, FastAPI...really whatever you like.

Yeah but when you're reading the actual source code you're not thinking in terms of bytes, you're looking and files and line counts. Htmx is deliberately maintained as a single, no-dependency file of about 5000loc. The mainta

The htmx creator has made similar things for a long time, if anything htmx has diverged from those ideas by taking Intercooler.js and stripping out the bundled jQuery to simplify it and create htmx. See https://news.ycombinator

I’m talking about auth, like a session cookie. What do you use for auth?

by yawaramin 1mo ago
Htmx is a direct descendant of Intercooler.js, which has been around since circa 2013, more than a decade. Intercooler still exists and is used in production, and you can clearly see that it works almost exactly the same way as htmx does to

Correction: they didn’t ‘realize they needed to make a breaking change’, they got excited by the improvements they could unlock by using the Fetch API and wanted to make a breaking change. The upgrade is completely voluntary: it won’t eve

Feeling this pain with Django right now. I don't even have to deal with a database in this app (it's just a BFF) and it's unnecessarily complex. Right now I'm ripping out the React frontend and replacing it with htmx. Us

Lol, so Rust is perfect until you actually try to do something with it.

Sure, that's basically what Phoenix LiveView does. But I would submit that you don't actually need that level of complexity with a bit of judicious UI/UX design, where as the app grows in scale, the number of oob swaps to kee

Ok, for the sake of completeness–why do you want to add a JSON API to the program? Quite a lot depends on the reason.
