I’ve been watching out for languages that could encroach on JavaScript’s power domain (the browser) for awhile. Since Node, it’s been able to play on other language’s turf, but not the other way around.
The idea that #rust could compete with #javascript on its home turf is one that I’ve watched carefully. The blocker seemed to be WASM bindings; that is, JS was still fastest at working the DOM.
If anyone's got chops, thoughts on the best way to make a #javascript module available to require() from a PyPI installed #python package would be welcome on this ticket:
A very well written article, that argues why it is the best time to invest in Web Components rather than anyone else's flavor of the month Front End Framework.
Breaking change²: data is now evaluated in virtual machine contexts.
If you were persisting custom objects³ and referencing classes from global scope (globalThis) to have your objects keep their types when read, you must now explicitly register your list of custom classes using the new classes property of the options object when calling JSDB.open().
Day 39 of #100daysofcode#webdev is done, and it was again all about the four different kinds of loops in #javascript in action. The sheer amount of helper constants is kind of overwhelming for me, and I think I'll have to repeat some of the lectures before moving on. Day 40 up to day 40 are a milestone project, so I will find out quite quickly how well I understood all the control structure stuff...
JavaScript for a while was a lingua franca language; it being the language on browsers it attracted a lot of people with different "home language" backgrounds, OO and functional, which lead to a creative ferment.
Is there a way to invoke Mozilla's Readability.js from a Linux / MacOS bash shell for a specific URL and save the output somewhere?
I'd like to test some issues I'm having with an Android app, but can't update and install the app on my device (which I apparently "use" but do not "own" or "control").
And/or a quick-start / idiot's guide to Android app building and packaging might be useful.
(I have worked out that an APK is just a structured ZIP file.)
I love how #javascript generally goes with the fractal structure of files, but I'm trying to see how #vue does it since it seems like it might not be as opinionated about this.
I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.
The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.
If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.
The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.
Nice to see an update from the WP Feature (former WP Notify) project! Apparently there’s a “#JavaScript based system for displaying notifications” being worked on.
What's even remotely "modern" about them at this point? They're bloated dinosaurs that are one comet strike away from being next week's Active Server Pages.
I think I'd vastly prefer a post-modern #JS framework. Like something that keeps me from writing any JS in the first place.
Blazor in .NET, Phoenix LiveView in Elixir, and Yew in Rust... those are actual modern web frameworks.
